1 Samuel 3:8-10

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁸ Once again, for the third time, the Lord called Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’

Then Eli understood that the Lord was calling the boy. ⁹ He told Samuel, ‘Go and lie down. If he calls you, say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” ’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

¹⁰ The Lord came, stood there, and called as before, ‘Samuel, Samuel! ’

Samuel responded, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’
