1 Samuel 3

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 ♥ 📝 For I have told^H5046 him that I will judge^H8199 his house^H1004 for^H5704 ever,^H5769 for the iniquity^H5771 which he knew,^H3045 because his sons^H1121 did bring a curse^H7043 upon themselves, and he restrained^H3543 them not.

14 ♥ 📝 And therefore I have sworn^H7650 unto the house^H1004 of Eli,^H5941 that the iniquity^H5771 of Eli's^H5941 house^H1004 shall not be expiated^H3722 with sacrifice^H2077 nor offering^H4503 for^H5704 ever.^H5769

15 ♥ 📝 And Samuel^H8050 lay^H7901 until the morning,^H1242 and opened^H6605 the doors^H1817 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah.^H3068 And Samuel^H8050 feared^H3372 to show^H5046 Eli^H5941 the vision.^H4759

16 ♥ 📝 Then Eli^H5941 called^H7121 Samuel,^H8050 and said,^H559 Samuel,^H8050 my son.^H1121 And he said,^H559 Here am I.

17 ♥ 📝 And he said,^H559 What is the thing^H1697 that [Jehovah] hath spoken^H1696 unto thee? I pray thee, hide^H3582 it not from me: God^H430 do so^H6213 to thee, and more also,^H3254 if thou hide^H3582 anything^H1697 from me of all the things^H1697 that he spake^H1696 unto thee.

18 ♥ 📝 And Samuel^H8050 told^H5046 him every whit,^H1697 and hid^H3582 nothing from him. And he said,^H559 It is Jehovah:^H3068 let him do^H6213 what seemeth^H5869 him good.^H2896

19 ♥ 📝 And Samuel^H8050 grew,^H1431 and Jehovah^H3068 was with him, and did let none of his words^H1697 fall^H5307 to the ground.^H776

20 ♥ 📝 And all Israel^H3478 from Dan^H1835 even to Beer-sheba^H884 knew^H3045 that Samuel^H8050 was established^H539 to be a prophet^H5030 of Jehovah.^H3068

21 ♥ 📝 And Jehovah^H3068 appeared^H7200 again^H3254 in Shiloh;^H7887 for Jehovah^H3068 revealed^H1540 himself to Samuel^H8050 in Shiloh^H7887 by the word^H1697 of Jehovah.^H3068
