1 Samuel 2:12-14
Common English Bible
Corruption of Eli’s sons
12 Now Eli’s sons were despicable men who didn’t know the Lord. 13 This was how the priest was supposed to act with the people: Whenever anyone made a sacrifice, while the meat was boiling, the priest’s assistant would come with a three-pronged fork in hand. 14 He would thrust it into the cauldron or the pot.[a] Whatever the fork brought up, the priest would take for himself. This is how it was done for all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
