“And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child.”
The LORD called Samuel again, a third time. And Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said: Here I am, for you called me—the third call and response completes the pattern. The repetition invokes Elijah's later triple call (1 Kings 19:12) and establishes the rhythm of divine persistence.
