First Samuel 3:1

And the young man (Hebr. naar) Samuel ministered before the Lord (Yahweh) under Eli. [Samuel is now about twelve years old. His name literally means "God hears prayer" or "the one heard by God."]
And the word of the Lord (Yahweh) were rare at that time; prophetic visions (revelations) were not common.
