31 Samuel 3

1And the youth Samuel is serving Jehovah before Eli, and the word of Jehovah hath been precious in those days--there is no vision broken forth.Select 1 Samuel 3:1

2And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down in his place, and his eyes have begun to be dim--he is not able to see.Select 1 Samuel 3:2

3And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God is ,Select 1 Samuel 3:3

4and Jehovah calleth unto Samuel, and he saith, `Here am I.'Select 1 Samuel 3:4

5And he runneth unto Eli, and saith, `Here am I, for thou hast called for me;' and he saith, `I called not; turn back, lie down;' and he goeth and lieth down.Select 1 Samuel 3:5

6And Jehovah addeth to call again Samuel, and Samuel riseth and goeth unto Eli, and saith, `Here am I, for thou hast called for me;' and he saith, `I have not called, my son, turn back, lie down.'Select 1 Samuel 3:6

7And Samuel hath not yet known Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah is not yet revealed unto him.Select 1 Samuel 3:7

8And Jehovah addeth to call Samuel the third time, and he riseth and goeth unto Eli, and saith, `Here am I, for thou hast called for me;' and Eli understandeth that Jehovah is calling to the youth.Select 1 Samuel 3:8

9And Eli saith to Samuel, `Go, lie down, and it hath been, if He doth call unto thee, that thou hast said, Speak, Jehovah, for Thy servant is hearing;' and Samuel goeth and lieth down in his place.Select 1 Samuel 3:9

10And Jehovah cometh, and stationeth Himself, and calleth as time by time, `Samuel, Samuel;' and Samuel saith, `Speak, for Thy servant is hearing.'Select 1 Samuel 3:10

11And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Lo, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of every one hearing it do tingle.Select 1 Samuel 3:11

12In that day I establish unto Eli all that I have spoken unto his house, beginning and completing;Select 1 Samuel 3:12

13and I have declared to him that I am judging his house--to the age, for the iniquity which he hath known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he hath not restrained them,Select 1 Samuel 3:13

14and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering--unto the age.'Select 1 Samuel 3:14

15And Samuel lieth till the morning, and openeth the doors of the house of Jehovah, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision unto Eli.Select 1 Samuel 3:15

16And Eli calleth Samuel, and saith, `Samuel, my son;' and he saith, `Here am I.'Select 1 Samuel 3:16

17And he saith, `What is the word which He hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me; so doth God do to thee, and so doth He add, if thou hidest from me a word of all the words that He hath spoken unto thee.'Select 1 Samuel 3:17

18And Samuel declareth to him the whole of the words, and hath not hid from him; and he saith, `It is Jehovah; that which is good in His eyes He doth.'Select 1 Samuel 3:18

19And Samuel groweth up, and Jehovah hath been with him, and hath not let fall any of his words to the earth;Select 1 Samuel 3:19

20and all Israel know, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, that Samuel is established for a prophet to Jehovah.Select 1 Samuel 3:20

21And Jehovah addeth to appear in Shiloh, for Jehovah hath been revealed unto Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of Jehovah.Select 1 Samuel 3:21
