One night, while sleeping near the Ark of the Covenant, Samuel hears a voice calling his name. He thinks it's Eli, but when he goes to him, Eli tells him he didn't call. This happens three times until Eli realizes God is calling Samuel .

 Eli's Guidance: Eli instructs Samuel to respond to God's call by saying, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening" . This shows Eli's wisdom and willingness to help Samuel discern God's voice.

God's Message: God reveals to Samuel that He will punish Eli's household for their wickedness, particularly the abuse of power by Eli's sons . This message is a difficult one for Samuel to deliver, but he's obedient and shares it with Eli. Samuel's Obedience

Samuel’s Obedience: Samuel's willingness to listen and obey God's voice demonstrates his humility and faithfulness. He's not afraid to share the message, even though it's challenging.
