'Here I Am' in the Bible

that the Lord called Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”

He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call you; lie down again.” So he went and lay down.

So the Lord called Samuel a third time. And he stood and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.” Then Eli understood that it was the Lord [who was] calling the boy.

But Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he answered, “Here I am.”

Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and [Saul] His anointed [if I have done someone wrong]. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I exploited? Whom have I oppressed or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes [to the truth]? [Tell me and] I will restore it to you.”

Then Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” He replied, “Here I am [at your service], my lord.”
