Eli Hears About His Sons’ Evils
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard (A)all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with (B)the women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things, the evil things that I hear from all these people? 24 No, my sons; for the report is not good (C)which I hear the people of Yahweh [a]passing about. 25 If one man sins against another, (D)God will mediate for him; but (E)if a man sins against Yahweh, who can pray for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for (F)Yahweh desired to put them to death.
26 Now the young boy (G)Samuel [b]was growing in stature and in favor both with Yahweh and with men.

International Standard Version
Judgment against Eli’s Sons
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. 25 If a person sins[h] against another, God[i] will mediate for him,[j] but if a person sins against the Lord, who can intercede for him?”
But they would not follow the advice of[k] their father; for the Lord wanted to put them to death. 26 But the boy Samuel continued to grow both physically and in favor with the Lord and the people.
