In those days, when Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Heli’s care, a mes-sage from the Lord was a rare treasure; he would not openly reveal himself. (1 Samuel 3, 1)
One night, Heli lay down to rest where he was wont to lie, his eyes dim now with age and sightless, (1 Samuel 3, 2)
then ran to find Heli, and said, I am here at thy summons. Nay, said he, I never summoned thee; go back and lie down again. So back he went, and fell asleep. (1 Samuel 3, 5)
Then the Lord called Samuel again, and again he rose up and went to Heli, to answer his summons. But still no summons had been given, and he must go back to sleep again. (1 Samuel 3, 6)
But when a third time the persistent call came, and Samuel went to Heli, (1 Samuel 3, 8)
still ready at his command, Heli recognized at last whose voice it was the boy had heard. Go back to sleep, he told Samuel; and if the voice comes again, do thou answer, Speak on, Lord; thy servant is listening. And Samuel went back to his bed and fell asleep. (1 Samuel 3, 9)
For Heli it shall bring fulfilment of all the threats I have uttered against his clan; from first to last, they shall be accomplished. (1 Samuel 3, 12)
Samuel slept on till morning, when it was time for him to open the doors of the Lord’s house; and fear withheld him from telling Heli of his vision. (1 Samuel 3, 15)
Then he heard the voice of Heli calling, Samuel, my son Samuel! I am ready at thy command, said he. (1 Samuel 3, 16)
And Heli asked him, What message is it the Lord has sent thee? May the Lord give thee thy due of punishment, and more than thy due, if thou hidest from me any word of the message that was given thee. (1 Samuel 3, 17)
The Philistines, at this time, had mustered their forces for battle, and the Israelites went out to meet them in arms, encamping at the Rock of Deliverance; the Philistines were encamped at Aphec.✻ (1 Samuel 4, 1)
So now the Philistines marshalled their forces, and when battle was joined, they put the Israelites to rout; four thousand men were killed in that fight, scattered through the countryside. (1 Samuel 4, 2)
