1 Samuel 3:1-14

3:1

And the child
<05288>

Samuel
<08050>

ministered
<08334> (8764)

unto the LORD
<03068>

before
<06440>

Eli
<05941>_.

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

was precious
<03368>

in those days
<03117>_;

[there was] no open
<06555> (8737)

vision
<02377>_.

3:2

And it came to pass at that time
<03117>_,

when Eli
<05941>

[was] laid down
<07901> (8802)

in his place
<04725>_,

and his eyes
<05869>

began
<02490> (8689)

to wax dim
<03544>_,

[that] he could
<03201> (8799)

not see
<07200> (8800)_;

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];

3:4

That the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_:

and he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

3:5

And he ran
<07323> (8799)

unto Eli
<05941>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I
<02009>_;

for thou calledst
<07121> (8804)

me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I called
<07121> (8804)

not; lie down
<07901> (8798)

again
<07725> (8798)_.

And he went
<03212> (8799)

and lay down
<07901> (8799)_.

3:6

And the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8800)

yet again
<03254> (8686)_,

Samuel
<08050>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

arose
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Eli
<05941>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I; for thou didst call
<07121> (8804)

me. And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I called
<07121> (8804)

not, my son
<01121>_;

lie down
<07901> (8798)

again
<07725> (8798)_.

3:7

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}

3:8

And the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8800)

Samuel
<08050>

again
<03254> (8686)

the third time
<07992>_.

And he arose
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Eli
<05941>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I; for thou didst call
<07121> (8804)

me. And Eli
<05941>

perceived
<0995> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

had called
<07121> (8802)

the child
<05288>_.

3:9

Therefore Eli
<05941>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

lie down
<07901> (8798)_:

and it shall be, if he call
<07121> (8799)

thee, that thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

Speak
<01696> (8761)_,

LORD
<03068>_;

for thy servant
<05650>

heareth
<08085> (8802)_.

So Samuel
<08050>

went
<03212> (8799)

and lay down
<07901> (8799)

in his place
<04725>_.

3:10

And the LORD
<03068>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and stood
<03320> (8691)_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

as at other times
<06471>_,

Samuel
<08050>_,

Samuel
<08050>_.

Then Samuel
<08050>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Speak
<01696> (8761)_;

for thy servant
<05650>

heareth
<08085> (8802)_.

3:11

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>_,

Behold, I will do
<06213> (8802)

a thing
<01697>

in Israel
<03478>_,

at which both
<08147>

the ears
<0241>

of every one that heareth
<08085> (8802)

it shall tingle
<06750> (8799)_.

3:12

In that day
<03117>

I will perform
<06965> (8686)

against Eli
<05941>

all [things] which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

concerning
<0413>

his house
<01004>_:

when I begin
<02490> (8687)_,

I will also make an end
<03615> (8763)_.

{when...: Heb. beginning and ending}

3:13

For I have told
<05046> (8689)

him that I will judge
<08199> (8802)

his house
<01004>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>

for the iniquity
<05771>

which he knoweth
<03045> (8804)_;

because his sons
<01121>

made themselves vile
<07043> (8764)_,

and he restrained
<03543> (8765)

them not. {For I...: or, And I will tell him} {vile: or, accursed} {restrained...: Heb. frowned not upon them}

3:14

And therefore I have sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto the house
<01004>

of Eli
<05941>_,

that the iniquity
<05771>

of Eli's
<05941>

house
<01004>

shall not be purged
<03722> (8691)

with sacrifice
<02077>

nor offering
<04503>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.
