    2It happened at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),

    3and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down [to sleep], in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was;

    4that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, "Here I am."

    5He ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He said, "I didn't call; lie down again." He went and lay down.

    6Yahweh called yet again, "Samuel!" Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He answered, "I didn't call, my son; lie down again."

    7Now Samuel didn't yet know Yahweh, neither was the word of Yahweh yet revealed to him.

    8Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." Eli perceived that Yahweh had called the child.

    9Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, 'Speak, Yahweh; for your servant hears.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

    10Yahweh came, and stood, and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" Then Samuel said, "Speak; for your servant hears."

    11Yahweh said to Samuel, "Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.

    15Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

    16Then Eli called Samuel, and said, "Samuel, my son!" He said, "Here I am."

    17He said, "What is the thing that [Yahweh] has spoken to you? Please don't hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you."

    18Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, "It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him."

    19Samuel grew, and Yahweh was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.

    20All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yahweh.

    21Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh; for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Yahweh.
