Book 09 1 Samuel Chapter 003

 

003:001And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And
the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no
open vision.

 

003:002And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in
his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not
see;

 

003:003And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD,
where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

 

003:004That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

 

003:005And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst
me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and
lay down.

 

003:006And 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.

 

003:007Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of
the LORD yet revealed unto him.

 

003:008And 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 had called the child.

 

003:009Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be,
if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy
servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

 

003:010And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times,
Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant
heareth.

 

003:011And 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.

 

003:012In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have
spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an
end.

 

003:013For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for
the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made
themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

 

003:014And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the
iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor
offering for ever.

 

003:015And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the
house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.

 

003:016Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he
answered, Here am I.

 

003:017And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto
thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and
more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things
that he said unto thee.

 

003:018And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And
he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.

 

003:019And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none
of his words fall to the ground.

 

003:020And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was
established to be a prophet of the LORD.

 

003:021And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed
himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
