And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place—now his eyes had begun to wax dim, that he could not see— <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down to sleep in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>that the LORD called Samuel; and he said: ‘Here am I.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And he ran unto Eli, and said: ‘Here am I; for thou didst call me.’ And he said: ‘I called not; lie down again.’ And he went and lay down. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And the LORD called yet again Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said: ‘Here am I; for thou didst call me.’ And he answered: ‘I called not, my son; lie down again.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said: ‘Here am I; for thou didst call me.’ And Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the child. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Therefore Eli said unto Samuel: ‘Go, lie down; and it shall be, if thou be called, that thou shalt say: Speak, LORD; for Thy servant heareth.’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times: ‘Samuel, Samuel.’ Then Samuel said: ‘Speak; for Thy servant heareth.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And the LORD said to Samuel: ‘Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity, in that he knew that his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he rebuked them not. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering for ever.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/3-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD.
