It refers to the flame of the golden seven-branched olive oil menorah (candelabrum) in the Sanctuary.
The lamp of God in Samuel 3 represents the presence of God and His guidance. In this context, it symbolizes the message or revelation that God was about to deliver to Samuel. By calling Samuel's name, God was initiating a personal relationship with him and revealing His will.
I believe it was Samuel who asked God that he would give him wisdom...
One example is Psalm 149:3, which states "Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp." Another example is 2 Samuel 6:14, which describes King David "dancing before the Lord with all his might."
Samuel's sons went astray because they were corrupt and did not follow the ways of their father. They took bribes and perverted justice, which led to their actions being condemned by the people and ultimately resulting in the need for a king to lead Israel.
If you mean Ezekiel, and I think you do, then it is a combo of 2 terms: the verb 'to seize or hold fast' and coupled with the term for God. Thus it means 'strongly seized by God' or as in Chapter 3:8, it means, 'God strengthens.' Double name meanings are common in Scripture. Suffice it to say, Ezekiel, had all the equipment he needed to perform the tasks God had assigned for him.
The book of 1 Samuel in the Bible tells the story of the prophet Samuel, the rise of King David, and the decline of King Saul. It covers themes such as leadership, faithfulness, obedience, and the consequences of sin.

Actually the Lord calls Samuel 3 times who was a boy under Eli, the high priest at the time. This is described in 1 Samuel chapter 3.
you have to rub the lamp. what does that mean
The bible, regardless of the translated version, does not mention his wife. Samuel's life was dedicated to God from the time of his weaning by his mother Hannah. She promised that she would give him over to serve God "all his days". The information I am referencing is found in 1 Samuel chapters 1-3. It seems from the scriptures he truly did dedicate all, including a married life, children etc to serve God's will and His people. Read 1 Samuel 8:1-5, Samuel had sons, the oldest was Joel, but it seems we don't know his wifes name.
The phrase "Here I am, Lord" is mentioned twice in the Bible. It appears in the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel, where the prophet Samuel responds to God's call (1 Samuel 3:4) and in the book of Isaiah, where Isaiah volunteers to be sent as a prophet by God (Isaiah 6:8).
1Sam:2:22: Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.Tabernacle was very often called a temple. See verses below:1Sam:1:9: So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.1Sam:3:3: 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;
