Gill's Notes on the Bible

That the Lord called Samuel,.... By a voice which came forth from the most holy place, from between the cherubim, the seat of the divine Majesty:

and he answered, here am I; which was not intended to declare the place where he was, but to express his readiness and cheerfulness to do any thing that was required of him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 3:4. The Lord called Samuel — The voice probably came from the holy place, near to which Eli and Samuel were both lying.
