1 Samuel 2:20-34

  20 H5941 And Eli H1288 blessed [H8765]   H511 Elkanah H802 and his wife H559 , and said [H8804]   H3068 , The LORD H7760 give [H8799]   H2233 thee seed H802 of this woman H7596 for the loan H7592 which is lent [H8804]   H3068 to the LORD H1980 . And they went [H8804]   H4725 unto their own home.

  21 H3588 And H3068 the LORD H6485 visited [H8804]   H2584 Hannah H2029 , so that she conceived [H8799]   H3205 , and bare [H8799]   H7969 three H1121 sons H8147 and two H1323 daughters H5288 . And the child H8050 Samuel H1431 grew [H8799]   H5973 before H3068 the LORD.

  22 H5941 Now Eli H3966 was very H2204 old [H8804]   H8085 , and heard [H8804]   H1121 all that his sons H6213 did [H8799]   H3478 unto all Israel H7901 ; and how they lay [H8799]   H802 with the women H6633 that assembled [H8802]   H6607 at the door H168 of the tabernacle H4150 of the congregation.

  23 H559 And he said [H8799]   H6213 unto them, Why do [H8799]   H1697 ye such things H8085 ? for I hear [H8802]   H7451 of your evil H1697 dealings H5971 by all this people.

  24 H1121 Nay, my sons H2896 ; for it is no good H8052 report H8085 that I hear [H8802]   H3068 : ye make the LORD'S H5971 people H5674 to transgress [H8688]  .

  25 H376 If one man H2398 sin [H8799]   H376 against another H430 , the judge H6419 shall judge [H8765]   H376 him: but if a man H2398 sin [H8799]   H3068 against the LORD H6419 , who shall intreat [H8691]   H8085 for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened [H8799]   H6963 not unto the voice H1 of their father H3068 , because the LORD H2654 would [H8804]   H4191 slay [H8687]   them.

  26 H5288 And the child H8050 Samuel H1432 grew H1980 on [H8802]   H2896 , and was in favour H3068 both with the LORD H582 , and also with men.

  27 H935 And there came [H8799]   H376 a man H430 of God H5941 unto Eli H559 , and said [H8799]   H559 unto him, Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H1540 , Did I plainly [H8736]   H1540 appear [H8738]   H1004 unto the house H1 of thy father H4714 , when they were in Egypt H6547 in Pharaoh's H1004 house?

  28 H977 And did I choose [H8800]   H7626 him out of all the tribes H3478 of Israel H3548 to be my priest H5927 , to offer [H8800]   H4196 upon mine altar H6999 , to burn [H8687]   H7004 incense H5375 , to wear [H8800]   H646 an ephod H6440 before H5414 me? and did I give [H8799]   H1004 unto the house H1 of thy father H801 all the offerings made by fire H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel?

  29 H1163 Wherefore kick [H8799]   H2077 ye at my sacrifice H4503 and at mine offering H6680 , which I have commanded [H8765]   H4583 in my habitation H3513 ; and honourest [H8762]   H1121 thy sons H1254 above me, to make yourselves fat [H8687]   H7225 with the chiefest H4503 of all the offerings H3478 of Israel H5971 my people?

  30 H3068 Wherefore the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5002 saith [H8803]   H559 , I said [H8804]   H559 indeed [H8800]   H1004 that thy house H1004 , and the house H1 of thy father H1980 , should walk [H8691]   H6440 before H5704 me for H5769 ever H3068 : but now the LORD H5002 saith [H8803]   H2486 , Be it far from me H3513 ; for them that honour [H8764]   H3513 me I will honour [H8762]   H959 , and they that despise [H8802]   H7043 me shall be lightly esteemed [H8799]  .

  31 H3117 Behold, the days H935 come [H8802]   H1438 , that I will cut off [H8804]   H2220 thine arm H2220 , and the arm H1 of thy father's H1004 house H2205 , that there shall not be an old man H1004 in thine house.

  32 H5027 And thou shalt see [H8689]   H6862 an enemy H4583 in my habitation H3190 , in all the wealth which God shall give [H8686]   H3478 Israel H2205 : and there shall not be an old man H1004 in thine house H3117 for ever.

  33 H376 And the man H3772 of thine, whom I shall not cut off [H8686]   H4196 from mine altar H3615 , shall be to consume [H8763]   H5869 thine eyes H109 , and to grieve H5315 thine heart H4768 : and all the increase H1004 of thine house H4191 shall die [H8799]   H582 in the flower of their age.

  34 H226 And this shall be a sign H935 unto thee, that shall come [H8799]   H8147 upon thy two H1121 sons H2652 , on Hophni H6372 and Phinehas H259 ; in one H3117 day H4191 they shall die [H8799]   H8147 both of them.
