RNKJV - I Samuel - 3

3:1  And the child Samuel ministered unto יהוה before Eli. And the word of יהוה was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

3:2  And 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;

3:3  And ere the lamp of Elohim went out in the temple of יהוה, where the ark of Elohim was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

3:4  That יהוה called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

3:5  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.

3:6  And יהוה 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.

3:7  Now Samuel did not yet know יהוה, neither was the word of יהוה yet revealed unto him.

3:8  And יהוה 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 יהוה had called the child.

3:9  Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak,יהוה; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

3:10  And יהוה came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

3:11  And יהוה said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

3:12  In 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.

3:13  For 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.

3:14  And 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.

3:15  And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of יהוה. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.

3:16  Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.

3:17  And he said, What is the thing that יהוה hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: Elohim do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.

3:18  And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is יהוה: let him do what seemeth him good.

3:19  And Samuel grew, and יהוה was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.

3:20  And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of יהוה.

3:21  And יהוה appeared again in Shiloh: for יהוה revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of יהוה.
