1 Samuel 3:1-5
1 Samuel 3:1
Now the boy Samuel was attending to the service of the Lord before Eli. And word from the Lord was rare in those days; visions were infrequent.
1 Samuel 3:2
But it happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyesight had begun to be poor and he could not see well),
1 Samuel 3:3
and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord where the ark of God was,
1 Samuel 3:4
that the Lord called Samuel; and he said, “Here I am.”
1 Samuel 3:5
Then he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.
