The LORD 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.”
Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
The LORD called Samuel again the third time.
He arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.”
Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
