1 Samuel 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:2 |
|
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), |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:3 |
|
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; |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:4 |
|
that Jehovah called Samuel; and he said, Here
am I. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:6 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:7 |
|
Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither
was the word of Jehovah yet revealed unto him. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:8 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:9 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:10 |
|
And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at
other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:11 |
|
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.
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:12 |
|
In that day I will perform against Eli all that
I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:13 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:14 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:15 |
|
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened
the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:16 |
|
Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my
son. And he said, Here am I. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:17 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:18 |
|
And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing
from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him good. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:19 |
|
And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and
did let none of his words fall to the ground. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:20 |
|
And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew
that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:21 |
|
And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh; for Jehovah
revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah. |
