But Samuel
<08050>

ministered
<08334> (8764)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

[being] a child
<05288>_,

girded
<02296> (8803)

with a linen

1 Samuel 3:3

And ere the lamp
<05216>

of God
<0430>

went out
<03518> (8799)

in the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

where the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

[was], and Samuel
<08050>

was laid down
<07901> (8802)

[to sleep];

Now Samuel
<08050>

did not yet
<02962>

know
<03045> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

neither was the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

yet revealed
<01540> (8735)

unto him. {Now...: or, Thus did Samuel before he knew the LORD, and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto him}
