Contextual Overview
1 The child Shemu'el ministered to the LORD before `Eli. The word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision. 2 It happened at that time, when `Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see), 3 and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Shemu'el had laid down [to sleep], in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was; 4 that the LORD called Shemu'el; and he said, Here am I. 5 He ran to `Eli, and said, Here am I; for you called me. He said, I didn't call; lie down again. He went and lay down. 6 The LORD called yet again, Shemu'el. Shemu'el arose and went to `Eli, and said, Here am I; for you called me. He answered, I didn't call, my son; lie down again. 7 Now Shemu'el didn't yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him. 8 The LORD called Shemu'el again the third time. He arose and went to `Eli, and said, Here am I; for you called me. `Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. 9 Therefore `Eli said to Shemu'el, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call you, that you shall say, Speak, the LORD; for your servant hears. So Shemu'el went and lay down in his place. 10 The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Shemu'el, Shemu'el. Then Shemu'el said, Speak; for your servant hears.

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.
