1 Samuel Chapter 3 / ASV

American Standard Version
1 Samuel, Chapter 3

   1: And the child Samuel ministered unto Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.
   2: And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to wax dim, so that he could not see),
   3: and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down [to sleep], in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was;
   4: that Jehovah called Samuel; and he said, Here am I.
   5: And 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.
   6: And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
   7: Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed unto him.
   8: And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child.
   9: Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
   10: And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
   11: And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
   12: In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end.
   13: For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not.
   14: 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.
   15: And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
   16: Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
   17: And he said, What is the thing that [Jehovah] hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spake unto thee.
   18: And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him good.
   19: And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
   20: And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah.
   21: And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
