Chapter 3 And the child Samuel ministered
unto the Lord before Eli.

00:05.200 --> 00:07.520
And the word of the Lord was precious in
those days.

00:07.880 --> 00:09.080
There was no open vision.

00:09.760 --> 00:13.300
And it came to pass at that time,
when Eli was laid down in his place,

00:13.640 --> 00:16.360
and his eyes began to wax dim,
that he could not see.

00:16.960 --> 00:20.320
And ere the lamp of God went out in the
temple of the Lord, where the ark of God

00:20.320 --> 00:24.820
was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep,
that the Lord called Samuel, and he

00:24.820 --> 00:26.160
answered, Here am I.

00:26.160 --> 00:29.920
And he ran unto Eli, and said,
Here am I, for thou callest me.

00:30.080 --> 00:33.700
And he said, I called not, lie down again.

00:34.140 --> 00:35.320
And he went and lay down.

00:35.940 --> 00:37.940
And the Lord called yet again,
Samuel.

00:38.420 --> 00:42.980
And Samuel arose, and went to Eli,
and said, Here am I, for thou didst call

00:42.980 --> 00:43.220
me.

00:43.340 --> 00:48.020
And he answered, I called not,
my son, lie down again.

00:48.380 --> 00:52.240
Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord,
neither was the word of the Lord yet

00:52.240 --> 00:53.180
revealed unto him.

00:53.180 --> 00:56.540
And the Lord called Samuel again the third
time.

00:57.000 --> 01:01.200
And he arose, and went to Eli,
and said, Here am I, for thou didst call

01:01.200 --> 01:01.480
me.

01:01.660 --> 01:04.080
And Eli perceived that the Lord had called
the child.

01:04.740 --> 01:09.140
Therefore Eli said unto Samuel,
Go, lie down, and it shall be,

01:09.380 --> 01:14.580
if he call thee, that thou shalt say,
Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.

01:14.780 --> 01:16.960
So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

01:17.280 --> 01:22.420
And the Lord came, and stood, and called
as at other times, Samuel, Samuel.

01:22.420 --> 01:26.280
Then Samuel answered, Speak, for thy
servant heareth.

01:26.560 --> 01:32.040
And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold,
I will do a thing in Israel, at which both

01:32.040 --> 01:34.360
the ears of every one that heareth it
shall tingle.

01:35.000 --> 01:39.940
In that day I will perform against Eli all
things which I have spoken concerning his

01:39.940 --> 01:40.280
house.

01:40.760 --> 01:43.760
When I begin, I will also make an end.

01:44.380 --> 01:48.480
For I have told him that I will judge his
house forever for the iniquity which he

01:48.480 --> 01:53.180
knoweth, because his sons made themselves
vile, and he restrained them not.

01:53.860 --> 01:58.200
And therefore I have sworn unto the house
of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house

01:58.200 --> 02:01.800
shall not be purged with sacrifice nor
offering for ever.

02:02.480 --> 02:06.080
And Samuel lay until the morning,
and opened the doors of the house of the

02:06.080 --> 02:06.300
Lord.

02:06.800 --> 02:08.880
And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

02:09.480 --> 02:12.760
Then Eli called Samuel, and said,
Samuel, my son.

02:13.240 --> 02:14.940
And he answered, Here am I.

02:15.180 --> 02:18.940
And he said, What is the thing that the
Lord hath said unto thee?

02:19.500 --> 02:21.440
I pray thee, hide it not from me.

02:22.280 --> 02:27.980
God do so to thee, and more also,
if thou hide anything from me of all the

02:27.980 --> 02:29.780
things that he said unto thee.

02:30.140 --> 02:33.360
And Samuel told him every whit,
and hid nothing from him.

02:33.780 --> 02:35.420
And he said, It is the Lord.

02:36.220 --> 02:38.940
Let him do what seemeth him good.

02:39.120 --> 02:43.400
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with
him, and did let none of his words fall to

02:43.400 --> 02:43.820
the ground.

02:43.820 --> 02:48.100
And all Israel, from Dan even to
Beersheba, knew that Samuel was

02:48.100 --> 02:49.700
established to be a prophet of the Lord.

02:50.360 --> 02:51.960
And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh.

02:52.260 --> 02:55.920
For the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in
Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
