Contextual Overview

¹ And the child Samuel ministred vnto the Lord before Eli: and the word of the Lord was precious in those daies; there was no open vision. ² And it came to passe at that time, when Eli was layd downe in his place, and his eyes beganne to waxe dimme, that he could not see; ³ And yer the lampe of God went out in the Temple of the Lord, where the Arke of God was, and Samuel was layd downe to sleepe; ⁴ That the Lord called Samuel, and he answered, Here am I. ⁵ And he ranne vnto Eli, and sayd, Here am I, for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie downe againe. And he went and lay downe. ⁶ And the Lord called yet againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou diddest call me. And he answered, I called not, my sonne; lie downe againe. ⁷ Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet reuealed vnto him. ⁸ And the Lord called Samuel againe the third time. And hee arose, and went to Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou diddest call me. And Eli perceiued that the Lord had called the childe. ⁹ Therefore Eli said vnto Samuel, Go, lie downe, & it shal be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speake Lord, for thy seruant heareth. So Samuel went, and lay downe in his place. ¹⁰ And the Lord came, and stood 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.
