H8050G–שְׁמוּאֵל–she.mu.el

Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

But Samuel did the work of the Lord's house, while he was a child, dressed in a linen ephod.

וּשְׁמוּאֵ֕ל (שְׁמוּאֵ֕ל) she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And the Lord had mercy on Hannah and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the young Samuel became older before the Lord.

שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And the young Samuel, becoming older, had the approval of the Lord and of men.

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Now the young Samuel was the servant of the Lord before Eli. In those days the Lord kept his word secret from men; there was no open vision.

שְׁמוּאֵ֛ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And the light of God was still burning, while Samuel was sleeping in the Temple of the Lord where the ark of God was,

וּשְׁמוּאֵ֖ל (שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל) she.mu.'El “Samuel”

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

שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And again the Lord said, Samuel. And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. But he said in answer, I said nothing, my son; go to your rest again.

שְׁמוּאֵל֒ she.mu.'El “Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Now at that time Samuel had no knowledge of the Lord, and the revelation of the word of the Lord had not come to him.

וּשְׁמוּאֵ֕ל (שְׁמוּאֵ֕ל) she.mu.'El “Samuel”

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.

שְׁמוּאֵל֮ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

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.

לִשְׁמוּאֵל֮ (שְׁמוּאֵל֮) sh.mu.'El “Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

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.

שְׁמוּאֵ֣ל׀ she.mu.'El “O Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵ֑ל she.mu.'El “O Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I will do a thing in Israel at which the ears of everyone hearing of it will be burning.

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

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.

שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”וּשְׁמוּאֵ֣ל (שְׁמוּאֵ֣ל) she.mu.'El “Samuel”

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

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵ֣ל she.mu.'El “O Samuel”

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.

שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And Samuel became older, and the Lord was with him and let not one of his words be without effect.

שְׁמוּאֵ֑ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And it was clear to all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba that Samuel had been made a prophet of the Lord.

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And the Lord was seen again in Shiloh; for the Lord gave to Samuel in Shiloh the revelation of his word.

שְׁמוּאֵ֛ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Now at that time the Philistines came together to make war against Israel, and the men of Israel went out to war against the Philistines and took up their position at the side of Eben-ezer: and the Philistines put their forces in position in Aphek.

שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Then Samuel said to all Israel, If with all your hearts you would come back to the Lord, then put away all the strange gods and the Astartes from among you, and let your hearts be turned to the Lord, and be servants to him only: and he will make you safe

שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Then Samuel said, Let all Israel come to Mizpah and I will make prayer to the Lord for you.

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

So they came together to Mizpah, and got water, draining it out before the Lord, and they took no food that day, and they said, We have done evil against the Lord. And Samuel was judge of the children of Israel in Mizpah.

שְׁמוּאֵ֛ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Go on crying to the Lord our God for us to make us safe from the hands of the Philistines.

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

And Samuel took a young lamb, offering all of it as a burned offering to the Lord; and Samuel made prayers to the Lord for Israel and the Lord gave him an answer.
