1 Samuel 2:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 No, my sons; it is not a good report that I hear the people of the Lord spreading abroad.(A) 25 If one person sins against another, someone can intercede for the sinner with the Lord,[a] but if someone sins against the Lord, who can make intercession?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for it was the will of the Lord to kill them.(B)
26 Now the boy Samuel continued to grow both in stature and in favor with the Lord and with the people.(C)

1 Samuel 2:24-26
New International Version
24 No, my sons; the report I hear spreading among the Lord’s people is not good. 25 If one person sins against another, God[a] may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will(A) intercede(B) for them?” His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.
26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow(C) in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.(D)
