1 Samuel 2:11-13

Expanded Bible

Eli’s Evil Sons

¹¹ Then Elkanah went home to Ramah [1:1], but the boy ·continued to serve [ministered to/before] the Lord ·under [in the presence of] Eli the priest.

¹² Now Eli’s sons were ·evil men [scoundrels; good-for-nothings]; they did not ·care about [know; respect; regard] the Lord. ¹³ ·This is what the priests would normally do to [… nor about their duties as priests for] the people: Every time someone ·brought [offered] a sacrifice, the meat would be ·cooked [^Lboiled] in a pot. The priest’s servant would then come carrying a fork that had three prongs.
