1 Samuel 2:12-25

12Now the sonsH1121 of EliH5941 were sonsH1121 of Belial; they knewH3045 not Jehovah.

13And the priests' customH4941 with the peopleH5971 was, when any manH376 sacrificedH2076 a sacrificeH2077, the priest's servantH5288 cameH935, when the fleshH1320 was cooked, with a flesh-hook of threeH7969 prongs in his handH3027;

14and he struckH5221 it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or potH6517; the priestH3548 tookH3947 of it all that the flesh-hook broughtH935 up. So they did in ShilohH7887 to all the Israelites that cameH935 there.

15Even before they burned the fatH2459, the priest's servantH5288 cameH935, and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificedH2076, GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roast for the priestH3548, and he will not acceptH3947 sodden fleshH1320 of thee, but raw.

16If the manH376 saidH559 to him, They will immediately burn the fatH2459 entire, then takeH3947 as thy soulH5315 desiresH8378; he would sayH559 [to him], No, but thou shalt giveH5414 [it] nowH6258; and if not, I will takeH3947 [it] by forceH2394.

17And the sinH2403 of the youngH5288 menH376 wasH1961 veryH3966 greatH1419 before Jehovah, for menH376 despised the offeringH4503 of Jehovah.

18And SamuelH8050 ministered before Jehovah, a boy girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephodH646.

19And his motherH517 madeH6213 him a littleH6996 coat, and broughtH5927 it to him from year to year, when she cameH5927 up with her husbandH376 to sacrificeH2077 the yearly sacrificeH2077.

20And EliH5941 blessedH1288 ElkanahH511 and his wifeH802, and saidH559, Jehovah give thee seedH2233 of this womanH802 for the loan which is lent to Jehovah. And they wentH1980 to their own home.

21So Jehovah visitedH6485 HannahH2584, and she conceivedH2029, and boreH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121 and twoH8147 daughtersH1323. And the boy SamuelH8050 grewH1431 before Jehovah.

22And EliH5941 was veryH3966 old, and heardH8085 all that his sonsH1121 were doing to all IsraelH3478, and that they layH7901 with the womenH802 that servedH6633 at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150.

23And he saidH559 to them, WhyH4100 do ye such thingsH1697? for I hearH8085 of your evilH7451 deeds from all this peopleH5971.

24No, my sonsH1121, for it is no goodH2896 reportH8052 that I hearH8085: ye makeH8085 Jehovah's peopleH5971 transgressH5674.

25If oneH376 manH376 sinH2398 against another, 1GodH430 will judge him; but if a manH376 sinH2398 against Jehovah, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not to the voiceH6963 of their fatherH1, for Jehovah was minded to slay them.
