And the LORDcalled yet again, Samuel. And Samuelarose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thoudidstcall me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie downagain.
And the LORDcalledSamuelagain the thirdtime. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thoudidstcall me. And Eli perceivedthat the LORD had called the child.
Therefore Eli saiduntoSamuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he callthee, thatthoushalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servantheareth. So Samuelwent and lay down in his place.
For I havetold him that I willjudge his house for ever for the iniquitywhich he knoweth; because his sonsmadethemselvesvile, and he restrainedthem not.
And he said, What is the thingthat the LORDhathsaiduntothee? I praytheehide it not from me: God do so to thee, and morealso, if thouhide any thingfrom me of all the thingsthat he saiduntothee.
