1 Samuel 2:31-34

31Behold, 1the days are coming when I will break your 2strength and the 3strength of your father’s house so that there will not be an old man in your house.

32You will see 4the distress of My dwelling, in spite of all the good that 5I do for Israel; and an 6old man will not be in your house forever.

33Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altar 7so that your eyes will fail from weeping and your soul grieve, and all the increase of your house will die 8in the prime of life.

34This will be 9the sign to you which will come concerning your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: 10on the same day both of them will die.
