7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.
8 The Lord again called Samuel a third time. So he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.”Then Eli understood that the Lord was calling to the boy.
9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down. And it will be, if He calls you, that you will say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant listens.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 The Lord came and stood, and He called as at other times, “Samuel, Samuel.”Then Samuel said, “Speak, for Your servant listens.”
11 The Lord said to Samuel, “See, I am doing something in Israel which will make both ears ring of every one that hears it.
12 In that day I will bring about against Eli everything which I have spoken with regard to his house, from beginning to end.
13 For I told him that I will judge his house forever, for the guilt which he knew, because his sons are cursed, and he did not rebuke them.
