1 Samuel 3:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ when the Lord called out Samuel's name.

“Here I am!” Samuel answered. ⁵ Then he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am. What do you want?”

“I didn't call you,” Eli answered. “Go back to bed.”

Samuel went back.

⁶ Again the Lord called out Samuel's name. Samuel got up and went to Eli. “Here I am,” he said. “What do you want?”

Eli told him, “Son, I didn't call you. Go back to sleep.”
