1 H5288 And the child H8050 Samuel H8334 ministered H3068 unto Jehovah H6440 before H5941 Eli. H1697 And the word H3068 of Jehovah H3368 was precious H3117 in those days; H6555 there was no frequent H2377 vision.

2 H3117 And it came to pass at that time, H5941 when Eli H7901 was laid down H4725 in his place H5869 (now his eyes H2490 had begun H3544 to wax dim, H3201 so that he could H7200 not see),

3 H5216 and the lamp H430 of God H3518 was not yet gone out, H8050 and Samuel H7901 was laid down to H1964 sleep, in the temple H3068 of Jehovah, H727 where the ark H430 of God was;

4 H3068 that Jehovah H7121 called H8050 Samuel; H559 and he said, Here am I.

5 H7323 And he ran H5941 unto Eli, H559 and said, H2009 Here am I; H7121 for thou calledst H559 me. And he said, H7121 I called H7901 not; lie down H7725 again. H3212 And he went H7901 and lay down.

6 H3068 And Jehovah H7121 called H3254 yet again, H8050 Samuel. H8050 And Samuel H6965 arose H3212 and went H5941 to Eli, H559 and said, H7121 Here am I; for thou calledst H559 me. And he answered, H7121 I called H1121 not, my son; H7901 lie down H7725 again.

7 H8050 Now Samuel H2962 did not yet H3045 know H3068 Jehovah, H1697 neither was the word H3068 of Jehovah H1540 yet revealed unto him.

8 H3068 And Jehovah H7121 called H8050 Samuel H3254 again H7992 the third time. H6965 And he arose H3212 and went H5941 to Eli, H559 and said, H7121 Here am I; for thou calledst H5941 me. And Eli H995 perceived H3068 that Jehovah H7121 had called H5288 the child.

9 H5941 Therefore Eli H559 said H8050 unto Samuel, H3212 Go, H7901 lie down: H7121 and it shall be, if he call H559 thee, that thou shalt say, H1696 Speak, H3068 Jehovah; H5650 for thy servant H8085 heareth. H8050 So Samuel H3212 went H7901 and lay down H4725 in his place.

10 H3068 And Jehovah H935 came, H3320 and stood, H7121 and called H6471 as at other times, H8050 Samuel, H8050 Samuel. H8050 Then Samuel H559 said, H1696 Speak; H5650 for thy servant H8085 heareth.

11 H3068 And Jehovah H559 said H8050 to Samuel, H6213 Behold, I will do H1697 a thing H3478 in Israel, H8147 at which both H241 the ears H8085 of every one that heareth H6750 it shall tingle.

12 H3117 In that day H6965 I will perform H5941 against Eli H1696 all that I have spoken H413 concerning H1004 his house, H2490 from the beginning H3615 even unto the end.
