| 1 | The child Samuel ministered to Yahweh before Eli. The word of Yahweh was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision. | 1Sa 3:15 1Sa 2:11 1Sa 2:18 |
| 2 | It 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), | 1Sa 2:22 1Sa 4:15 Gn 27:1 Gn 48:19 Ps 90:10 Ec 12:3 |
| 3 | and 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; | Ex 27:20 Ex 27:21 Ex 30:7 Ex 30:8 Lv 24:2-4 2Ch 13:11 |
| 4 | that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, Here am I. | Gn 22:1 Ex 3:4 Ps 99:6 Ac 9:4 1Co 12:6-11 1Co 12:28-11 Ga 1:15 Ga 1:16 |
| 5 | He ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; 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 am I; for you called me. He answered, I didn`t call, my son; lie down again. | 1Sa 4:16 Gn 43:29 2Sa 18:22 Mt 9:2 |
| 7 | Now Samuel didn`t yet know Yahweh, neither was the word of Yahweh yet revealed to him. | Jer 9:24 Ac 19:2 |
| 8 | Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you called me. Eli perceived that Yahweh had called the child. | Jb 33:14 Jb 33:15 1Co 13:11 1Co 13:12 |
| 9 | Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call you, that you shall say, Speak, Yahweh; for your servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. | Ex 20:19 Ps 85:8 Isa 6:8 Dn 10:19 Ac 9:6 |
| 10 | Yahweh came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for your servant hears. | 1Sa 3:4-6 1Sa 3:8-6 |
| 11 | Yahweh said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle. | Isa 29:14 Am 3:6 Am 3:7 Hab 1:5 Ac 13:41 |
| 12 | In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end. | 1Sa 2:27-36 Nm 23:19 Jsh 23:15 Zc 1:6 Lk 21:33 |
| 13 | For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse on themselves, and he didn`t restrain them. | 1Sa 2:27-30 1Sa 2:31-36 |
| 14 | Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli`s house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever. | 1Sa 2:25 Nm 15:30 Nm 15:31 Ps 51:16 Isa 22:14 Jer 7:16 Jer 15:1 Ezk 24:13 Heb 10:4-10 Heb 10:26-31 |
| 15 | Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision. | 1Sa 1:9 Mal 1:10 |
| 16 | Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. He said, Here am I. |
| 17 | He 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." | Ps 141:5 Dn 4:19 Mic 2:7 |
| 18 | Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. He said, It is Yahweh: let him do what seems him good. | Gn 18:25 Jg 10:15 2Sa 16:10-12 Jb 1:21 Jb 2:10 Ps 39:9 Isa 39:8 Lam 3:39 1Pe 5:6 |
| 19 | Samuel grew, and Yahweh was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. | 1Sa 2:21 Jg 13:24 Lk 1:80 Lk 2:40 Lk 2:52 |
| 20 | All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yahweh. | Jg 20:1 2Sa 3:10 2Sa 17:11 |
| 21 | Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh; for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Yahweh. | Gn 12:7 Gn 15:1 Nm 12:6 Am 3:7 Heb 1:1 |
