1 Samuel 3:1 And the child5288 Samuel8050 ministered8334 unto the LORD3068 before6440 Eli.5941 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 was precious3368 in those days;3117 there was no open6555 vision.2377 cr 2 And it came to pass at that time,3117 when Eli5941 was laid down7901 in his place,4725 and his eyes5869 began2490 to wax dim,3544 that he could3201 not see;7200 cr 3 And ere the lamp5216 of God430 went out3518 in the temple1964 of the LORD,3068 where the ark727 of God430 was, and Samuel8050 was laid down7901 to sleep; cr 4 That the LORD3068 called7121 Samuel:8050 and he answered,559 Here am I. cr 5 And he ran7323 unto Eli,5941 and said,559 Here am I;2009 for thou calledst7121 me. And he said,559 I called7121 not; lie down7901 again.7725 And he went3212 and lay down.7901 cr 6 And the LORD3068 called7121 yet again,3254 Samuel.8050 And Samuel8050 arose6965 and went3212 to Eli,5941 and said,559 Here am I; for thou didst call7121 me. And he answered,559 I called7121 not, my son;1121 lie down7901 again.7725 cr 7 Now Samuel8050 did not yet2962 know3045 the LORD,3068 neither was the word1697 of the LORD3068 yet revealed1540 unto him.{Or, thus did Samuel, before he knew the LORD; and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto him} cr 8 And the LORD3068 called7121 Samuel8050 again3254 the third time.7992 And he arose6965 and went3212 to Eli,5941 and said,559 Here am I; for thou didst call7121 me. And Eli5941 perceived995 that the LORD3068 had called7121 the child.5288 cr 9 Therefore Eli5941 said559 unto Samuel,8050 Go,3212 lie down:7901 and it shall be, if he call7121 thee, that thou shalt say,559 Speak,1696 LORD;3068 for thy servant5650 heareth.8085 So Samuel8050 went3212 and lay down7901 in his place.4725 cr 10 And the LORD3068 came,935 and stood,3320 and called7121 as at other times,6471 Samuel,8050 Samuel.8050 Then Samuel8050 answered,559 Speak;1696 for thy servant5650 heareth.8085 cr

1 Samuel 3:11 And the LORD3068 said559 to Samuel,8050 Behold, I will do6213 a thing1697 in Israel,3478 at which both8147 the ears241 of every one that heareth8085 it shall tingle.6750 cr 12 In that day3117 I will perform6965 against Eli5941 all things which I have spoken1696 concerning413 his house:1004 when I begin,2490 I will also make an end.3615{Heb. beginning and ending} cr 13 For I have told5046 him{Or, and I will tell him, etc.} that I will judge8199 his house1004 for5704 ever5769 for the iniquity5771 which he knoweth;3045 because his sons1121 made themselves vile,7043{Or, accurse} and he restrained3543 them not.{Heb. frowned not upon them} cr 14 And therefore I have sworn7650 unto the house1004 of Eli,5941 that the iniquity5771 of Eli's5941 house1004 shall not be purged3722 with sacrifice2077 nor offering4503 for5704 ever.5769 cr

1 Samuel 3:15 And Samuel8050 lay7901 until the morning,1242 and opened6605 the doors1817 of the house1004 of the LORD.3068 And Samuel8050 feared3372 to shew5046 Eli5941 the vision.4759 cr 16 Then Eli5941 called7121 Samuel,8050 and said,559 Samuel,8050 my son.1121 And he answered,559 Here am I. cr 17 And he said,559 What is the thing1697{Or, word} that the LORD hath said1696 unto thee? I pray thee hide3582 it not from me: God430 do so6213 to thee, and more also,3254{so add} if thou hide3582 any thing1697 from me of all the things1697 that he said1696 unto thee. cr 18 And Samuel8050 told5046 him every whit,1697{Heb. all the things, or words} and hid3582 nothing from him. And he said,559 It is the LORD:3068 let him do6213 what seemeth5869 him good.2896 cr

1 Samuel 3:19 And Samuel8050 grew,1431 and the LORD3068 was with him, and did let none of his words1697 fall5307 to the ground.776 cr 20 And all Israel3478 from Dan1835 even to Beersheba884 knew3045 that Samuel8050 was established539{Or, faithful} to be a prophet5030 of the LORD.3068 cr 21 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 again3254 in Shiloh:7887 for the LORD3068 revealed1540 himself to Samuel8050 in Shiloh7887 by the word1697 of the LORD.3068 cr
