1 Samuel 3:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ Before the lamp of God had gone out,^(A) Samuel was lying down in the tabernacle of the Lord, where the ark of God was located.

⁴ Then the Lord called Samuel,^[a] and he answered, “Here I am.” ⁵ He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

“I didn’t call,” Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.
