4 That the LORD H3068 called H7121 Samuel: H8050 and he answered, H559 Here am I.
5 And he ran H7323 unto Eli, H5941 and said, H559 Here am I; H2009 for thou calledst H7121 me. And he said, H559 I called H7121 not; lie down H7901 again. H7725 And he went H3212 and lay down. H7901
6 And the LORD H3068 called H7121 yet again, H3254 Samuel. H8050 And Samuel H8050 arose H6965 and went H3212 to Eli, H5941 and said, H559 Here am I; for thou didst call H7121 me. And he answered, H559 I called H7121 not, my son; H1121 lie down H7901 again. H7725
7 Now Samuel H8050 did not yet H2962 know H3045 the LORD, H3068 neither was the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 yet revealed H1540 unto him.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 3 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 3
In the foregoing chapter we had Samuel a young priest, though by birth a Levite only, for he ministered before the Lord in a linen ephod; in this chapter we have him a young prophet, which was more, God in an extraordinary manner revealing himself to him, and in him reviving, if not commencing, prophecy in Israel. Here is,
1Sa 3:1-10
To make way for the account of God's revealing himself first to Samuel, we are here told,
The manner of God's revealing himself to Samuel is here related very particularly, for it was uncommon.
1Sa 3:11-18
Here is,
1Sa 3:19-21
Samuel being thus brought acquainted with the visions of God, we have here an account of the further honour done him as a prophet.
