The First Book of Samuel 3: 1-10, 19-20

3:1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord before Eli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no manifest vision.
3:2 Så skete det det, på en bestemt dag, Eli was lying in his place. And his eyes had dimmed, so that he was unable to see.
3:3 Også, to prevent the lamp of God from going out, Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
3:4 And the Lord called Samuel. Og reagerer, han sagde, "Her er jeg."
3:5 And he ran to Eli, og han sagde, "Her er jeg. For you called me.” And he said: “I did not call. Return and sleep.” And he went away, and he slept.
3:6 Og igen, the Lord continued to call to Samuel. Og rejser sig, Samuel went to Eli, og han sagde: "Her er jeg. For you called me.” And he responded: “I did not call you, min søn. Return and sleep.”
3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not been revealed to him.
3:8 And the Lord continued, and he called to Samuel still a third time. Og rejser sig, he went to Eli.
3:9 Og han sagde: "Her er jeg. For you called me.” Then Eli understood that the Lord had called the boy. And he said to Samuel: “Go and sleep. And if he calls to you from now on, you will say, ‘Speak, Herre, for your servant is listening.’ ” Therefore, Samuel went away, and he slept in his place.
3:10 And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, just as he had called the other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” And Samuel said, “Speak, Herre, for your servant is listening.”
3:19 And Samuel grew up, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.
3:20 And all of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, knew Samuel to be a faithful prophet of the Lord.
