“That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.”
Then the LORD called, Samuel! Samuel! and he said, Here I am—*vayiqra YHWH et-Shemu'el* (the LORD called Samuel), the double name expressing urgency and intimacy. Samuel's *hineni* (Here I am) is the posture of obedient availability, echoing Abraham, Jacob, and Moses.
