The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
SA1 3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of
the LORD yet revealed unto him.
SA1 3:8 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.
SA1 3:9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be,
if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant
heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
SA1 3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times,
Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
