1 Samuel 3:5 Context
3And yer the lampe of God went out in the Temple of the Lord, where the Arke of God was, and Samuel was layd downe to sleepe; 4That the Lord called Samuel, and he answered, Here am I. 5And he ranne vnto Eli, and sayd, Here am I, for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie downe againe. And he went and lay downe. 6And the Lord called yet againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou diddest call me. And he answered, I called not, my sonne; lie downe againe. 7Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet reuealed vnto him.
