³ Before the lamp of God had gone out,^(A) Samuel was lying down in the temple 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.
