1 Samuel 3:4-10

4 Yahweh called Samuel. He said, "Here I am."

5 He 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. 6 Yahweh 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." 7 Now Samuel didn’t yet know Yahweh, neither was Yahweh’s word yet revealed to him. 8 Yahweh 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. 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down. 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. 10 Yahweh came, and stood, and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!"

Then Samuel said, "Speak; for your servant hears."
