Prophecy Against Eli’s Household
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, [a]and how they lay with (A)the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people. 24 No, my sons! For it is not a good report that I hear. You make the Lord’s people transgress. 25 If one man sins against another, (B)God[b] will judge him. But if a man (C)sins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?” Nevertheless they did not heed the voice of their father, (D)because the Lord desired to kill them.
26 And the child Samuel (E)grew in stature, and (F)in favor both with the Lord and men.
27 Then a (G)man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: (H)‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house? 28 Did I not (I)choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And (J)did I not give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire? 29 Why do you (K)kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My (L)dwelling place, and honor your sons more than (M)Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?’ 30 Therefore the Lord God of Israel says: (N)‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.’ But now the Lord says: (O)‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and (P)those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold, (Q)the days are coming that I will cut off your [c]arm and the arm of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 And you will see an enemy in My dwelling place, despite all the good which God does for Israel. And there shall not be (R)an old man in your house forever. 33 But any of your men whom I do not cut off from My altar shall consume your eyes and grieve your heart. And all the descendants of your house shall die in the flower of their age. 34 Now this shall be (S)a sign to you that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: (T)in one day they shall die, both of them. 35 Then (U)I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. (V)I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before (W)My anointed forever. 36 (X)And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and say, “Please, [d]put me in one of the priestly positions, that I may eat a piece of bread.” ’ ”
