Eli was very proud of Samuel. Usually, when a High Priest died, his son would be the next High Priest. There was one very big problem. Sometimes they stole things. They did not love the Lord and they did not obey Him. They would not be good High Priests. One night Samuel was lying down in the tabernacle. All of the sudden Samuel heard a voice calling his name. Samuel went back and lay down again. Samuel heard the voice one more time. This time Eli began to understand that something special was happening.
A Voice in the Night - A Bible Story about Samuel by Sophia Prinsloo
This was not just any voice. This must be the voice of the Lord.
When you hear the voice again, say: Now the Lord began to speak to Samuel. They were too wicked and they did not love the Lord. Samuel lay back down until morning when it was time to open the tabernacle. Samuel did not want to tell Eli what the Lord had said. He knew that Eli would feel bad. But Eli told Samuel to tell him everything the Lord said. He told him not to leave one thing out. After that first night, the Lord came and spoke to Samuel often.
