"that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, "Here I am.""
— 1 Samuel 3:4, World English Bible
“That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.”
“that Jehovah called Samuel: and he said, Here am I. ”
“The LORD called to Samuel, and he replied,“Here I am!””
“And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I.”
“The voice of the Lord said Samuel's name; and he said, Here am I.”
“That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.”
The child Samuel ministered to Yahweh before Eli. The word of Yahweh was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.
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),
and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down [to sleep], in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was;
that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, "Here I am."
He ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He said, "I didn't call; lie down again." He went and lay down.
Yahweh called yet again, "Samuel!" Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He answered, "I didn't call, my son; lie down again."
Now Samuel didn't yet know Yahweh, neither was the word of Yahweh yet revealed to him.
