22 Now Eli was very[a] old, and he had heard everything that[b] his sons were doing[c] to the Israelis,[d] and how they lay with the women who were serving regularly[e] at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 23 “Why are you doing these things that I’m hearing about?” he asked his sons,[f] “These reports about your evil deeds are coming from all these[g] people! 24 No, my sons, I’m not hearing good news being circulated by the Lord’s people.

New International Version
22 Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything(A) his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women(B) who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours. 24 No, my sons; the report I hear spreading among the Lord’s people is not good.
