1 Samuel 3:1
|
|
And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD
before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no
open vision. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 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; |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:3 |
|
And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple
of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:4 |
|
That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered,
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 the LORD 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. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:7 |
|
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither
was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:8 |
|
And the LORD 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 the LORD 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, LORD; for thy servant
heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:10 |
|
And the LORD came, and stood, and called as
at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:11 |
|
And the LORD 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 things
which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:15 |
|
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened
the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:16 |
|
Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my
son. And he answered, Here am I. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:17 |
|
And he said, What is the thing that the LORD
hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more
also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:18 |
|
And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing
from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:19 |
|
And Samuel grew, and the LORD 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 Beersheba knew
that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 3:21 |
|
And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the
LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD. |
