2:18 Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

3:1 The child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. The word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

3:2 At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;

3:3 ... before the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

3:4 That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

3:5 He ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you called me. He said, I called not; lie down again. He went and lay down.

3:6 The Lord called yet again, Samuel. Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you did call me. He answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.

3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.

3:9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call you, that you shall say, Speak, Lord; for your servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

3:10 The Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for your servant hears.

9:17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, Behold the man whom I spoke to you of. This same shall reign over my people.

13:9 Saul said, Bring here a burned offering to me, and peace offerings. He offered the burned offering.

13:14 Now your kingdom shall not continue: the Lord has sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be captain over his people, because you have not kept that which the Lord commanded you.

15:11 It repents me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments. It grieved Samuel; and he cried to the Lord all night.

15:22-23 Does the Lord have as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken is better than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as bad as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the Word of the Lord, He has also rejected you ...

16:7 The Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his countenance or on the height of his stature, because I have refused him. The Lord does not see things as people+ see things. For people+ look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.

16:18 Then one of the servants said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is cunning in playing and a mighty valiant man. A man of war, and prudent, a comely person, and the Lord is with him.

17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

25:6 Thus shall you say to him that lives in prosperity, Peace be both to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
