1 Samuel 3:8-21

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>_.

3:15

And Samuel
<08050>

lay
<07901> (8799)

until the morning
<01242>_,

and opened
<06605> (8799)

the doors
<01817>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

feared
<03372> (8804)

to shew
<05046> (8687)

Eli
<05941>

the vision
<04759>_.

3:16

Then Eli
<05941>

called
<07121> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Samuel
<08050>_,

my son
<01121>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

3:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] the thing
<01697>

that [the LORD] hath said
<01696> (8765)

unto thee? I pray thee hide
<03582> (8762)

[it] not from me: God
<0430>

do so
<06213> (8799)

to thee, and more also
<03254> (8686)_,

if thou hide
<03582> (8762)

[any] thing
<01697>

from me of all the things
<01697>

that he said
<01696> (8765)

unto thee. {more also: Heb. so add} {thing from: or, word from}

3:18

And Samuel
<08050>

told
<05046> (8686)

him every whit
<01697>_,

and hid
<03582> (8765)

nothing from him. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] the LORD
<03068>_:

let him do
<06213> (8799)

what seemeth
<05869>

him good
<02896>_.

{every...: Heb. all the things, or, words}

3:19

And Samuel
<08050>

grew
<01431> (8799)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

was with him, and did let none of his words
<01697>

fall
<05307> (8689)

to the ground
<0776>_.

3:20

And all Israel
<03478>

from Dan
<01835>

even to Beersheba
<0884>

knew
<03045> (8799)

that Samuel
<08050>

[was] established
<0539> (8737)

[to be] a prophet
<05030>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{established: or, faithful}

3:21

And the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8736)

again
<03254> (8686)

in Shiloh
<07887>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

revealed
<01540> (8738)

himself to Samuel
<08050>

in Shiloh
<07887>

by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
