1 Samuel 3:1-5 ▼

1 And the chylde Samuel ministred vnto the Lorde before Eli, and the worde of the Lord was precious in those dayes, neither was there any open vision.

2 And as at that tyme Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dymme that he coulde not see.

3 And yet the lampe of God went out, Samuel layde hym downe to sleepe in the temple of the Lord, where the arke of God was.

4 And the Lorde called Samuel. And he aunswered, I am here.

5 And he ran vnto Eli, and sayde: Here am I, for thou calledst me. And he said, I called thee not, go againe and sleepe. And he went, and layde hym downe to sleepe.
