Contextual Overview
1 Nowe the childe Samuel ministred vnto the Lord before Eli: and the word of the Lord was precious in those dayes: for there was no manifest vision. 2 And at that time, as Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dimme that he could not see. 3 And yet the light of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lorde, where the Arke of God was. 4 Then the Lorde called Samuel: and hee said, Here I am. 5 And he ranne vnto Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou calledst me. But he said, I called thee not: goe againe and sleepe. And he went and slept. 6 And the Lorde called once againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou diddest call me. And he answered, I called thee not, my sonne: go againe and sleepe. 7 Thus did Samuel, before hee knewe the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was reueiled vnto him. 8 And the Lorde called Samuel againe the thirde time: and he arose, and went to Eli, & said, I am here: for thou hast called me. Then Eli perceiued that the Lord had called the childe. 9 Therefore Eli saide vnto Samuel, Goe and sleepe: and if he call thee, then say, Speake Lorde, for thy seruant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. 10 And the Lord came, and stoode, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speake, for thy seruant heareth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
That the Lord called Samuel,.... By a voice which came forth from the most holy place, from between the cherubim, the seat of the divine Majesty:
and he answered, here am I; which was not intended to declare the place where he was, but to express his readiness and cheerfulness to do any thing that was required of him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 3:4. The Lord called Samuel — The voice probably came from the holy place, near to which Eli and Samuel were both lying.
