1 Samuel 3 Interlinear

and it came to pass at that time when eli was laid down in his place and his eyes began to wax dim that he could not see

and ere the lamp of god went out in the temple of the lord where the ark of god was and samuel was laid down

that the lord called samuel and he answered

and he ran unto eli and said here am i for thou calledst me and he said i called not lie down again and he went and lay down

and the lord called yet again samuel and samuel arose and went to eli and said here am i for thou didst call me and he answered i called not my son lie down again

now samuel did not yet know the lord neither was the word of the lord yet revealed

and the lord called samuel again the third time and he arose and went to eli and said here am i for thou didst call me and eli perceived that the lord had called the child

therefore eli said unto samuel go lie down and it shall be if he call thee that thou shalt say speak lord for thy servant heareth so samuel went and lay down in his place

and the lord came and stood and called as at other times samuel samuel then samuel answered speak for thy servant heareth

and the lord said to samuel behold i will do a thing in israel at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle

in that day i will perform against eli all things which i have spoken concerning his house when i begin i will also make an end

for i have told him that i will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth because his sons made themselves vile and he restrained

and therefore i have sworn unto the house of eli that the iniquity of elis house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever

and samuel lay until the morning and opened the doors of the house of the lord and samuel feared to shew eli the vision

then eli called samuel and said samuel my son and he answered

and he said what is the thing that the lord hath said unto thee i pray thee hide it not from me god do so to thee and more also if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said

and samuel told him every whit and hid nothing from him and he said it is the lord let him do what seemeth him good

and samuel grew and the lord was with him and did let none of his words fall to the ground

and all israel from dan even to beersheba knew that samuel was established to be a prophet of the lord

and the lord appeared again in shiloh for the lord revealed himself to samuel in shiloh by the word of the lord
