4. Then the Lord called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”
5. He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called to me.”And he said, “I did not call. Return, lie down again.” And he went and lay down.
6. The Lord called Samuel again. So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.”And he answered, “I did not call, my son. Return, lie down again.”
7. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.
