The voice of the Lord said Samuel's name; and he said, Here am I.

וַיִּקְרָ֧א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And running to Eli he said, Here am I, for you said my name. And Eli said, I did not say your name; go to your rest again. So he went back to his bed.

And for the third time the Lord said Samuel's name. And he got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. Then it was clear to Eli that the voice which had said the child's name was the Lord's.

וַיֹּ֨סֶף (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֙קָם֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֣בֶן (וַ) va “and”

So Eli said to Samuel, Go back: and if the voice comes again, let your answer be, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open. So Samuel went back to his bed.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְהָיָה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאָֽמַרְתָּ֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁכַּ֖ב (וַ) va “and”

Then the Lord came and said as before, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel made answer, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open.

וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתְיַצַּ֔ב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרָ֥א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And you are to say to him that I will send punishment on his family for ever, for the sin which he had knowledge of; because his sons have been cursing God and he had no control over them.

וְהִגַּ֣דְתִּי (וְ) ve. “and”

And Samuel kept where he was, not moving till the time came for opening the doors of the house of God in the morning. And fear kept him from giving Eli an account of his vision.

וַיִּשְׁכַּ֤ב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפְתַּ֖ח (וַ) va “and”

Then Eli said, Samuel, my son. And Samuel answering said, Here am I.

וַיִּקְרָ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And he said, What did the Lord say to you? Do not keep it from me: may God's punishment be on you if you keep from me anything he said to you.

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Samuel gave him an account of everything, keeping nothing back. And he said, It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.

וַיְהִ֥י (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵ֣א (וַ) va “and”וַֽיַּחֲנוּ֙ (וַֽ) va “and”

And the Philistines put their forces in order against Israel, and the fighting was hard, and Israel was overcome by the Philistines, who put to the sword about four thousand of their army in the field.

וַיָּבֹ֣א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ (וַ) va “and”

And the Philistines, hearing the noise of their cry, said, What is this great cry among the tents of the Hebrews? Then it became clear to them that the ark of the Lord had come to the tent-circle.

וַיִּשְׁמְע֤וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֣דְע֔וּ (וַ) va “and”

And the Philistines, full of fear, said, God has come into their tents. And they said, Trouble is ours! for never before has such a thing been seen.

וַיִּֽרְאוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאמְרוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

Be strong, O Philistines, be men! Do not be servants to the Hebrews as they have been to you: go forward to the fight without fear.
