SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:6
Y el SEÑOR volvió a llamar otra vez a Samuel. Y levantándose Samuel vino a Elí, y dijo: Heme aquí; ¿para qué me has llamado? Y él dijo: Hijo mío, yo no he llamado; vuelve, y acuéstate.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. And the Lord called yet again , Samuel, etc.] Called him a second time by his name, with a like audible voice as before: and Samuel arose, and went to Eli ; did not run as before, being perhaps more thoughtful of this affair, that he should be called a second time, and careful not to awake Eli, should he be mistaken again, and find him asleep: and said, here am I, for thou didst call me ; perceiving that he was awake, he desired to know what he wanted, and he was ready to help him; for he was now certain of it that he did call him: and he answered, I called not, my son, lie down again ; by this appellation, my son, he expresses his affection to him, and signifies he took it kindly that he should show such readiness to do anything for him and would not have him be discouraged and abashed, because he was mistaken, but return to his bed and rest again.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - The call which Divine grace designs shall be made effectual; will be repeated till it is so, till we come to the call. Eli, perceiving tha it was the voice of God that Samuel heard, instructed him what to say Though it was a disgrace to Eli, for God's call to be directed to Samuel, yet he told him how to meet it. Thus the elder should do their utmost to assist and improve the younger that are rising up. Let u never fail to teach those who are coming after us, even such as wil soon be preferred before us, Joh 1:30. Good words should be put int children's mouths betimes, by which they may be prepared to lear Divine things, and be trained up to regard them.
