■ 사무엘상 3장
1. 아이 사무엘이 엘리 앞에서 여호와를 섬길 때에는 여호와의 말씀이 희귀하여 이상이 흔히 보이지 않았더라
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 .
2. 엘리의 눈이 점점 어두워 가서 잘 보지 못하는 그 때에 그가 자기 처소에 누웠고
And it came to pass at that time , when Eli was laid down in his place , and his eyes began to wax dim , that he could not see ;
3. 하나님의 등불은 아직 꺼지지 아니하였으며 사무엘은 하나님의 궤 있는 여호와의 전 안에 누웠더니
And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord , where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
4. 여호와께서 사무엘을 부르시는지라 그가 대답하되 내가 여기 있나이다 하고
That the Lord called Samuel : and he answered , Here am I.
5. 엘리에게로 달려가서 가로되 당신이 나를 부르셨기로 내가 여기 있나이다 가로되 나는 부르지 아니하였으니 다시 누우라 그가 가서 누웠더니
And he ran unto Eli , and said , Here am I ; for thou calledst me. And he said , I called not; lie down again . And he went and lay down .
6. 여호와께서 다시 사무엘을 부르시는지라 사무엘이 일어나서 엘리에게로 가서 가로되 당신이 나를 부르셨기로 내가 여기 있나이다 대답하되 내 아들아 내가 부르지 아니하였으니 다시 누우라 하니라
And the Lord called yet again , Samuel . And Samuel arose and went to Eli , and said , Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered , I called not, my son ; lie down again .
7. 사무엘이 아직 여호와를 알지 못하고 여호와의 말씀도 아직 그에게 나타나지 아니한 때라
Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord , neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him.
8. 여호와께서 세번째 사무엘을 부르시는지라 그가 일어나서 엘리에게로 가서 가로되 당신이 나를 부르셨기로 내가 여기 있나이다 엘리가 여호와께서 이 아이를 부르신 줄을 깨닫고
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 .
9. 이에 사무엘에게 이르되 가서 누웠다가 그가 너를 부르시거든 네가 말하기를 여호와여 말씀하옵소서 주의 종이 듣겠나이다 하라 이에 사무엘이 가서 자기 처소에 누우니라
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 .
10. 여호와께서 임하여 서서 전과 같이 사무엘아 사무엘아 부르시는지라 사무엘이 가로되 말씀하옵소서 주의 종이 듣겠나이다
And the Lord came , and stood , and called as at other times , Samuel , Samuel . Then Samuel answered , Speak ; for thy servant heareth .
11. 여호와께서 사무엘에게 이르시되 보라 내가 이스라엘 중에 한 일을 행하리니 그것을 듣는 자마다 두 귀가 울리리라
And the Lord said to Samuel , Behold, I will do a thing in Israel , at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle .
12. 내가 엘리의 집에 대하여 말한 것을 처음부터 끝까지 그 날에 그에게 다 이루리라
In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house : when I begin , I will also make an end .
13. 내가 그 집을 영영토록 심판하겠다고 그에게 이른 것은 그의 아는 죄악을 인함이니 이는 그가 자기 아들들이 저주를 자청하되 금하지 아니하였음이니라
For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth ; because his sons made themselves vile , and he restrained them not.
14. 그러므로 내가 엘리의 집에 대하여 맹세하기를 엘리 집의 죄악은 제물이나 예물로나 영영히 속함을 얻지 못하리라 하였노라
And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli , that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever .
15. 사무엘이 아침까지 누웠다가 여호와의 집 문을 열었으나 그 이상을 엘리에게 알게 하기를 두려워하더니
And Samuel lay until the morning , and opened the doors of the house of the Lord . And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision .
16. 엘리가 사무엘을 불러 가로되 내 아들 사무엘아 하니 대답하되 내가 여기 있나이다
Then Eli called Samuel , and said , Samuel , my son . And he answered , Here am I.
17. 가로되 네게 무엇을 말씀하셨느냐 청하노니 내게 숨기지 말라 네게 말씀하신 모든 것을 하나라도 숨기면 하나님이 네게 벌을 내리시고 또 내리시기를 원하노라
And he said , What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also , if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
18. 사무엘이 세세히 말하고 조금도 숨기지 아니하니 그가 가로되 이는 여호와시니 선하신 소견대로 하실 것이니라 하니라
And Samuel told him every whit , and hid nothing from him. And he said , It is the Lord : let him do what seemeth him good .
19. 사무엘이 자라매 여호와께서 그와 함께 계셔서 그 말로 하나도 땅에 떨어지지 않게 하시니
And Samuel grew , and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground .
20. 단에서부터 브엘세바까지의 온 이스라엘이 사무엘은 여호와의 선지자로 세우심을 입은 줄을 알았더라
And all Israel from Dan even to Beer–sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord .
21. 여호와께서 실로에서 다시 나타나시되 여호와께서 실로에서 여호와의 말씀으로 사무엘에게 자기를 나타내시니
And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh : for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord .

【삼상3:1 JFB】삼상3:1-10. The Lord Appears to Samuel in a Vision.
1. the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli—His ministry consisted, of course, of such duties in or about the sanctuary as were suited to his age, which is supposed now to have been about twelve years. Whether the office had been specially assigned him, or it arose from the interest inspired by the story of his birth, Eli kept him as his immediate attendant; and he resided not in the sanctuary, but in one of the tents or apartments around it, assigned for the accommodation of the priests and Levites, his being near to that of the high priest.
the word of the Lord was precious in those days—It was very rarely known to the Israelites; and in point of fact only two prophets are mentioned as having appeared during the whole administration of the judges (유4:4; 6:8).
there was no open vision—no publicly recognized prophet whom the people could consult, and from whom they might learn the will of God. There must have been certain indubitable evidences by which a communication from heaven could be distinguished. Eli knew them, for he may have received them, though not so frequently as is implied in the idea of an "open vision."
【삼상3:1 CWC】[ELI'S DEATH AND THE LOSS OF THE ARK]
1. God Speaks to Samuel, c. 3.
"The word of the Lord was precious (or rare) in those days" (v. 1), is introductory to the record that it was now heard in the case of Samuel. It was Israel's sin that hid God's face from them and caused His voice to be silent so long, -- only twice heard during the period of the Judges (삿4:4; 6:8) -- but He was again to be gracious unto them in this respect, and a new epoch was to open in their history.
How God spake to Samuel we are not informed, but His voice in earlier times was heard in a literal sense, and there is no good reason to doubt that it was here. Of course, God is not a man with physical organs, but who shall say that He who made man's voice is not able Himself to be heard and understood by man?
It is touching that the "man" to whom God chose to reveal Himself was a boy, and yet by this time perhaps quite a lad. How interesting that He is willing to reveal Himself to such an instrument! How it should encourage the ambition of a boy.
The revelation God gives to Samuel concerning Eli is a repetition of that of the "man of God" of the preceding lesson (2:27). And the meekness with which the old priest takes it is an evidence that his personal character was good, notwithstanding his conduct as regards his sons.
2. A Crisis in Israel, c. 4.
Verse 3 furnishes another illustration of the low spiritual state of Israel at this time, and how little removed they were from their pagan neighbors. To trust in the ark of the covenant instead of the God it symbolized was scarcely different from the worship of the idols of the Philistines. It is significant that the elders and the priests were the leaders in this folly (v. 4). Their fathers had carried the ark at Jericho, but there was a reason for it then, and God had commended it, but how different now.
What judgment fell on Israel for this! And surely as we read the chapter to the end, we can understand the prophecy, "Thou shalt behold the affliction of my habitation."
But notice how the character of Samuel as a prophet is being established (3:19-21). How sad that he had not been consulted in the case of the ark. If he had been, what a different story might have been written for Israel!
3. The Ark Among the Philistines, cc. 5, 6.
This lesson will not be too long if we add the story of the ark among the Philistines, especially as there is little requiring explanation.
"Dagon" was a heathen god represented by a human bust joined to the belly and tail of a fish. The details of verses 3 and 4 of chapter 6 show the manner in which God was pleased to demonstrate His superiority over this heathen god, so-called. "Unto this day" (v. 5) means the date when the story was recorded, probably the later years of Samuel's life.
"Emerods" is vulgarly known as piles, which the Philistines regarded as a judgment upon them (vv. 6-12). Thank-offerings were made to heathen gods for recovery from illness in the form of metal images of the diseased parts of the body, (still true in some Roman Catholic countries and in India), which accounts for the advice of the priests and diviners (6:1-6). Note especially verse 6, and the witness it bears that written records or tradition had kept some knowledge of the true God before the minds of these nations contiguous to Israel in all these years.
The lowing of the cattle for their young, notwithstanding that they did not turn back to recover them, shows that God was controlling their steps in another direction (vv. 10-12).
The judgment that fell on the Bethshemites (v. 19), was calculated to impress Israel anew with the sacredness attaching to the worship of Jehovah, but there seems to be an error in the translation here. Bethshemesh was only a village, and it seems unlikely that 50,070 men could have been slain there; but there is no explanation of the difficulty of which we know.
【삼상3:1 MHCC】The call which Divine grace designs shall be made effectual; will be repeated till it is so, till we come to the call. Eli, perceiving that it was the voice of God that Samuel heard, instructed him what to say. Though it was a disgrace to Eli, for God's call to be directed to Samuel, yet he told him how to meet it. Thus the elder should do their utmost to assist and improve the younger that are rising up. Let us never fail to teach those who are coming after us, even such as will soon be preferred before us, 요1:30. Good words should be put into children's mouths betimes, by which they may be prepared to learn Divine things, and be trained up to regard them.
【삼상3:3 JFB】3. ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord—The "temple" seems to have become the established designation of the tabernacle, and the time indicated was towards the morning twilight, as the lamps were extinguished at sunrise (see 레6:12, 13).
【삼상3:5 JFB】5-18. he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me—It is evident that his sleeping chamber was close to that of the aged high priest and that he was accustomed to be called during the night. The three successive calls addressed to the boy convinced Eli of the divine character of the speaker, and he therefore exhorted the child to give a reverential attention to the message. The burden of [the Lord's message] was an extraordinary premonition of the judgments that impended over Eli's house; and the aged priest, having drawn the painful secret from the child, exclaimed, "It is the Lord; let him do what seemeth him good." Such is the spirit of meek and unmurmuring submission in which we ought to receive the dispensations of God, however severe and afflictive. But, in order to form a right estimate of Eli's language and conduct on this occasion, we must consider the overwhelming accumulation of judgments denounced against his person, his sons, his descendants—his altar, and nation. With such a threatening prospect before him, his piety and meekness were wonderful. In his personal character he seems to have been a good man, but his sons' conduct was flagrantly bad; and though his misfortunes claim our sympathy, it is impossible to approve or defend the weak and unfaithful course which, in the retributive justice of God, brought these adversities upon him.
【삼상3:11 MHCC】What a great deal of guilt and corruption is there in us, concerning which we may say, It is the iniquity which our own heart knoweth; we are conscious to ourselves of it! Those who do not restrain the sins of others, when it is in their power to do it, make themselves partakers of the guilt, and will be charged as joining in it. In his remarkable answer to this awful sentence, Eli acknowledged that the Lord had a right to do as he saw good, being assured that he would do nothing wrong. The meekness, patience, and humility contained in those words, show that he was truly repentant; he accepted the punishment of his sin.
【삼상3:19 MHCC】All increase in wisdom and grace, is owing to the presence of God with us. God will graciously repeat his visits to those who receive them aright. Early piety will be the greatest honour of young people. Those who honour God he will honour. Let young people consider the piety of Samuel, and from him they will learn to remember their Creator in the days of their youth. Young children are capable of religion. Samuel is a proof that their waiting upon the Lord will be pleasing to him. He is a pattern of all those amiable tempers, which are the brightest ornament of youth, and a sure source of happiness.
