1 Samuel 3

And the lad Samuel was ministering unto the Lord before ‘Eli. And the word of the Lord was scarce in those days: prophecy was not extended.

Y EL joven Samuel ministraba á Jehová delante de Eli: y la palabra de Jehová era de estima en aquellos días; no había visión manifiesta.

And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
