And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. Amo 8:11-12Psa 74:91Sa 3:211Sa 2:111Sa 2:181Sa 3:15Isa 13:12 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; 1Sa 4:15Gen 27:1Gen 48:10Psa 90:10Gen 48:191Sa 2:22Ecc 12:3 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 to sleep; Lev 24:2-4Psa 27:4Exo 27:20-21Psa 5:7Psa 29:91Sa 1:62Ch 13:11Exo 30:7-8 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. 1Co 12:6-11Exo 3:4Gen 22:1Isa 6:8Psa 99:6Gal 1:15-161Co 12:28Act 9:4 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. 1Sa 4:162Sa 18:22Gen 43:29Mat 9:2 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. 1 Act 19:2Jer 9:24 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. Job 33:14-151Co 13:11-12 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. Exo 20:19Isa 6:8Psa 85:8Act 9:6Dan 10:19 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 1Sa 3:81Sa 3:4-6
¶ 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. Hab 1:52Ki 21:12Act 13:41Jer 19:3Amo 3:6-7Luk 21:26Isa 28:19Isa 29:14 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. 2 1Sa 2:27-36Jos 23:15Luk 21:33Num 23:19Zec 1:6 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 them not. 3 5 4 Pro 19:181Sa 2:12Mat 10:371Sa 2:17Pro 23:13-141Ki 1:6Ezk 18:30Ezk 7:3 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever. Isa 22:141Sa 2:25Jer 15:1Jer 7:16Ezk 24:13Heb 10:26-31Heb 10:4-10Lev 15:31
¶ And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision. Jer 1:6-81Co 16:10-111Sa 1:9Mal 1:10 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I. 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 unto thee. 6 7 2Sa 3:35Rut 1:171Ki 22:161Sa 20:132Sa 19:13Dan 4:19Mat 26:63Mic 2:7 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. 8 Isa 39:8Job 2:101Pe 5:6Jdg 10:15Job 1:21Lam 3:39Psa 39:92Sa 16:10-12
¶ And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. Gen 39:21Sa 9:61Ki 8:56Luk 2:521Sa 2:212Ti 4:222Co 13:11Luk 2:40 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD. 9 Jdg 20:12Sa 3:101Ti 1:122Sa 17:11 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD. 1Sa 3:1Gen 12:71Sa 3:4Gen 15:11Sa 3:10Num 12:6Amo 3:7Heb 1:1
