    1 The young boy Samuel was serving the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; visions were not widespread.

    2 One day, Eli was lying in his usual place. His eyesight had begun to grow dim, so he could not see well.

    3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.

    4 Then the Lord called to Samuel, and he answered, "Here I am!"

    5 Samuel ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down." So Samuel went and lay down again.

    6 The Lord called Samuel again. Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call, my son. Go back and lie down."

    7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.

    8 The Lord called Samuel a third time, and he got up and went to Eli, saying, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy.

    9 So Eli said to Samuel, "Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

    10 The Lord came, stood there, and called as he had before: "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening."

    11 The Lord said to Samuel, "Look, I am going to do something in Israel that will cause everyone who hears about it to tremble.

    12 On that day I will carry out everything I have spoken against Eli’s house, from beginning to end.
