And the child5288 did1961 minister8334 unto the LORD3068 before6440 Eli5941 the priest3548. 2:12 Now the sons1121 of Eli5941 {were} sons1121 of Belial1100; they knew3045 not the LORD3068. 2:13 And the priests'3548 custom4941 with the people5971 {was, that}, when any man0376 offered2076 sacrifice2077, the priest's3548 servant5288 came0935, while the flesh1320 was in seething1310, with a fleshhook4207 of three7969 teeth8127 in his hand3027; 2:14 And he struck5221 {it} into the pan3595, or kettle1731, or caldron7037, or pot6517; all that the fleshhook4207 brought up5927 the priest3548 took3947 for himself. So they did6213 in Shiloh7887 unto all the Israelites3478 that came0935 thither. 2:15 Also before they burnt6999 the fat2459, the priest's3548 servant5288 came0935, and said0559 to the man0376 that sacrificed2076, Give5414 flesh1320 to roast6740 for the priest3548; for he will not have3947 sodden1310 flesh1320 of thee, but raw2416. 2:16 And {if} any man0376 said0559 unto him, Let them not fail6999 to burn6999 the fat2459 presently3117, and {then} take3947 {as much} as thy soul5315 desireth0183; then he would answer0559 him, {Nay}; but thou shalt give5414 {it me} now: and if not, I will take3947 {it} by force2394. 2:17 Wherefore the sin2403 of the young men5288 was very3966 great1419 before6440 the LORD3068: for men0582 abhorred5006 the offering4503 of the LORD3068. 2:18 But Samuel8050 ministered8334 before6440 the LORD3068, {being} a child5288, girded2296 with a linen0906 ephod0646. 2:19 Moreover his mother0517 made6213 him a little6996 coat4598, and brought5927 {it} to him from year3117 to year3117, when she came up5927 with her husband0376 to offer2076 the yearly3117 sacrifice2077. 2:20 And Eli5941 blessed1288 Elkanah0511 and his wife0802, and said0559, The LORD3068 give7760 thee seed2233 of this woman0802 for the loan7596 which is lent7592 to the LORD3068. And they went1980 unto their own home4725. 2:21 And3588 the LORD3068 visited6485 Hannah2584, so that she conceived2029, and bare3205 three7969 sons1121 and two8147 daughters1323. And the child5288 Samuel8050 grew1431 before5973 the LORD3068. 2:22 Now Eli5941 was very3966 old2204, and heard8085 all that his sons1121 did6213 unto all Israel3478; and how they lay7901 with the women0802 that assembled6633 {at} the door6607 of the tabernacle0168 of the congregation4150. 2:23 And he said0559 unto them, Why do6213 ye such things1697? for I hear8085 of your evil7451 dealings1697 by all this people5971. 2:24 Nay, my sons1121; for {it is} no good2896 report8052 that I hear8085: ye make the LORD'S3068 people5971 to transgress5674. 2:25 If one man0376 sin2398 against another0376, the judge0430 shall judge6419 him: but if a man0376 sin2398 against the LORD3068, who shall intreat6419 for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened8085 not unto the voice6963 of their father0001, because the LORD3068 would2654 slay4191 them. 2:26 And the child5288 Samuel8050 grew1432 on1980, and was in favour2896 both with the LORD3068, and also with men0582. 2:27 And there came0935 a man0376 of God0430 unto Eli5941, and said0559 unto him, Thus saith0559 the LORD3068, Did I plainly1540 appear1540 unto the house1004 of thy father0001, when they were in Egypt4714 in Pharaoh's6547 house1004? 2:28 And did I choose0977 him out of all the tribes7626 of Israel3478 {to be} my priest3548, to offer5927 upon mine altar4196, to burn6999 incense7004, to wear5375 an ephod0646 before6440 me? and did I give5414 unto the house1004 of thy father0001 all the offerings made by fire0801 of the children1121 of Israel3478? 2:29 Wherefore kick1163 ye at my sacrifice2077 and at mine offering4503, which I have commanded6680 {in my} habitation4583; and honourest3513 thy sons1121 above me, to make yourselves fat1254 with the chiefest7225 of all the offerings4503 of Israel3478 my people5971? 2:30 Wherefore the LORD3068 God0430 of Israel3478 saith5002, I said0559 indeed0559 {that} thy house1004, and the house1004 of thy father0001, should walk1980 before6440 me for5704 ever5769: but now the LORD3068 saith5002, Be it far from me2486; for them that honour3513 me I will honour3513, and they that despise0959 me shall be lightly esteemed7043. 2:31 Behold, the days3117 come0935, that I will cut off1438 thine arm2220, and the arm2220 of thy father's0001 house1004, that there shall not be an old man2205 in thine house1004. 2:32 And thou shalt see5027 an enemy6862 {in my} habitation4583, in all {the wealth} which {God} shall give3190 Israel3478: and there shall not be an old man2205 in thine house1004 for ever3117. 2:33 And the man0376 of thine, {whom} I shall not cut off3772 from mine altar4196, {shall be} to consume3615 thine eyes5869, and to grieve0109 thine heart5315: and all the increase4768 of thine house1004 shall die4191 in the flower of their age0582. 2:34 And this {shall be} a sign0226 unto thee, that shall come0935 upon thy two8147 sons1121, on Hophni2652 and Phinehas6372; in one0259 day3117 they shall die4191 both8147 of them. 2:35 And I will raise me up6965 a faithful0539 priest3548, {that} shall do6213 according to {that} which {is} in mine heart3824 and in my mind5315: and I will build1129 him a sure0539 house1004; and he shall walk1980 before6440 mine anointed4899 for ever3117. 2:36 And it shall come to pass, {that} every one that is left3498 in thine house1004 shall come0935 {and} crouch7812 to him for a piece0095 of silver3701 and a morsel3603 of bread3899, and shall say0559, Put5596 me, I pray thee, into one0259 of the priests' offices3550, that I may eat0398 a piece6595 of bread3899.
