Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Samuel 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 (g) perceived that the LORD had called the child.

(g) Such was the corruption of those times that the chief priest had become dull and negligent to understand the Lord's appearing.

Cross-Reference Topical ResearchStrong's Concordance
the third:

Job 33:14-15 For God speaketh once, yea twice, [yet man] perceiveth it not. ... In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
; Although Samuel did not apprehend the way in which God reveals himself to his servants the prophets - by the "still small voice" - yet when this direct communication from the Almighty was made the third time, in a way altogether new and strange to him, it seems astonishing that he did not immediately apprehend. Perhaps he would have been sooner aware of a divine revelation, had it come in a dream or a vision. Those who have the greatest knowledge of divine things, should remember the time when they were as babes, unskilful in the word of righteousness.
1 Corinthians 13:11-12 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ... For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
