1 Samuel 2:15-17
International Standard Version
15 But even before they burned the fat, the servant of the priest would come and say to the person offering the sacrifice, “Give me meat to roast for the priest. He won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
16 If the man told him[a], “They must surely[b] burn up the fat first, and then take for yourself whatever[c] you desire,” the servant would say, “No,[d] give it now, and if you don’t,[e] I’ll take it by force!”[f] 17 By doing this, the sin of the young men was very serious in the Lord’s sight because the men[g] despised the Lord’s offering.
