3:1 And
the
child
Samuel
ministred
vnto
the
Lord
before
Eli:
and
the
word
of
the
Lord
was
precious
in
those
daies;
there
was
no
open
vision.
3:2 And
it
came
to
passe
at
that
time,
when
Eli
was
layd
downe
in
his
place,
and
his
eyes
beganne
to
waxe
dimme,
that
he
could
not
see;
3:3 And
yer
the
lampe
of
God
went
out
in
the
Temple
of
the
Lord,
where
the
Arke
of
God
was,
and
Samuel
was
layd
downe
to
sleepe;
3:4 That
the
Lord
called
Samuel,
and
he
answered,
Here
am
I.
3:5 And
he
ranne
vnto
Eli,
and
sayd,
Here
am
I,
for
thou
calledst
me.
And
he
said,
I
called
not;
lie
downe
againe.
And
he
went
and
lay
downe.
3:6 And
the
Lord
called
yet
againe,
Samuel.
And
Samuel
arose,
and
went
to
Eli,
and
said,
Here
am
I,
for
thou
diddest
call
me.
And
he
answered,
I
called
not,
my
sonne;
lie
downe
againe.
3:7 Now
Samuel
did
not
yet
know
the
Lord,
neither
was
the
word
of
the
Lord
yet
reuealed
vnto
him.
3:8 And
the
Lord
called
Samuel
againe
the
third
time.
And
hee
arose,
and
went
to
Eli,
and
said,
Here
am
I,
for
thou
diddest
call
me.
And
Eli
perceiued
that
the
Lord
had
called
the
childe.
3:9 Therefore
Eli
said
vnto
Samuel,
Go,
lie
downe,
&
it
shal
be,
if
he
call
thee,
that
thou
shalt
say,
Speake
Lord,
for
thy
seruant
heareth.
So
Samuel
went,
and
lay
downe
in
his
place.
3:10 And
the
Lord
came,
and
stood
and
called
as
at
other
times,
Samuel,
Samuel.
Then
Samuel
answered,
Speake,
for
thy
seruant
heareth.
3:11 And
the
Lord
sayd
to
Samuel,
Behold,
I
will
doe
a
thing
in
Israel,
at
which,
both
the
eares
of
euery
one
that
heareth
it,
shall
tingle.
3:12 In
that
day,
I
will
performe
against
Eli,
all
things
which
I
haue
spoken
concerning
his
house:
when
I
begin,
I
will
also
make
an
end.
3:13 For
I
haue
tolde
him,
that
I
will
iudge
his
house
for
euer,
for
the
iniquitie
which
hee
knoweth:
because
his
sonnes
made
themselues
vile,
and
he
restrained
them
not.
3:14 And
therefore
I
haue
sworne
vnto
the
house
of
Eli,
that
the
iniquitie
of
Elies
house
shall
not
be
purged
with
sacrifice,
nor
offering
for
euer.
3:15 And
Samuel
lay
vntill
the
morning,
and
opened
the
doores
of
the
house
of
the
Lord:
and
Samuel
feared
to
shew
Eli
the
vision.
3:16 Then
Eli
called
Samuel,
and
said,
Samuel
my
sonne.
And
he
answered,
Here
am
I.
3:17 And
he
said,
What
is
the
thing
that
the
Lord
hath
said
vnto
thee
I
pray
thee
hide
it
not
from
mee:
God
doe
so
to
thee,
and
more
also,
if
thou
hide
any
thing
from
me,
of
all
the
things
that
hee
said
vnto
thee.
3:18 And
Samuel
tolde
him
euery
whit,
and
hid
nothing
from
him.
And
he
said,
It
is
the
Lord:
Let
him
doe
what
seemeth
him
good.
3:19 And
Samuel
grew,
and
the
Lord
was
with
him,
and
did
let
none
of
his
words
fall
to
the
ground.
3:20 And
all
Israel
from
Dan
euen
to
Beer-sheba,
knew
that
Samuel
was
established
to
bee
a
Prophet
of
the
Lord.
3:21 And
the
Lord
appeared
againe
in
Shiloh:
for
the
Lord
reueiled
himselfe
to
Samuel
in
Shiloh,
by
the
word
of
the
Lord.
