1 Samuel 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 3:4

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.

1 Samuel 3:4 In-Context

2 Et il arriva un jour qu'Héli était couché en son lieu. Or ses yeux commençaient à se ternir, et il ne pouvait plus voir.
3 La lampe de Dieu n'était pas encore éteinte, et Samuel était couché dans le temple de l'Éternel, où était l'arche de Dieu;
4 Alors l'Éternel appela Samuel, et il répondit: Me voici!
5 Et il courut vers Héli, et lui dit: Me voici, car tu m'as appelé. Mais Héli dit: Je n'ai point appelé; retourne-t'en, et couche-toi. Et il s'en alla et se coucha.
6 Et l'Éternel appela encore Samuel, et Samuel se leva et s'en alla vers Héli, et dit: Me voici, car tu m'as appelé. Et Héli dit: Mon fils, je n'ai point appelé; retourne-t'en et couche-toi.
