1 Samuel 3:13-16
New International Version
13 For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God,[a] and he failed to restrain(A) them. 14 Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned(B) for by sacrifice or offering.’”
15 Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the Lord. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision, 16 but Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.”
Samuel answered, “Here I am.”
