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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007527">2</a>. 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;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007528">3</a>. 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;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007529">4</a>. That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007530">5</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007531">6</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007532">7</a>. Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007533">8</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007534">9</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007535">10</a>. And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel.  Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007536">11</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007537">12</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007538">13</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007539">14</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007540">15</a>. And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD.  And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007541">16</a>. Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son.  And he answered, Here am I.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007542">17</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007543">18</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007544">19</a>. And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007545">20</a>. And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1007546">21</a>. And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.</li>
