3. The lamp of God had not yet gone out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was lying down
4. When the Lord called, Samuel! And he answered, Here I am.
5. He ran to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. Eli said, I did not call you; lie down again. So he went and lay down.
6. And the Lord called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, Here am I; you did call me. Eli answered, I did not call, my son; lie down again.
7. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord was not yet revealed to him.
8. And the Lord called Samuel the third time. And he went to Eli and said, Here I am, for you did call me. Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy.
