1 Samuel 2:18-26

18But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, being a childH5288, girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephodH646. 19Moreover his motherH517 madeH6213 him a littleH6996 coatH4598, and broughtH5927 it to him from yearH3117 to yearH3117, when she came upH5927 with her husbandH376 to offerH2076 the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077.

20And EliH5941 blessedH1288 ElkanahH511 and his wifeH802, and saidH559, YhwhH3068 giveH7760 thee seedH2233 of this womanH802 for the loanH7596 which is lentH7592 to YhwhH3068. And they wentH1980 unto their own homeH4725.1 21AndH3588 YhwhH3068 visitedH6485 HannahH2584, so that she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121 and twoH8147 daughtersH1323. And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1431 beforeH5973 YhwhH3068.

22Now EliH5941 was veryH3966 oldH2204, and heardH8085 all that his sonsH1121 didH6213 unto all IsraelH3478; and how they layH7901 with the womenH802 that assembledH6633 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.2 23And he saidH559 unto them, Why doH6213 ye such thingsH1697? for I hearH8085 of your evilH7451 dealingsH1697 by all this peopleH5971.3 24Nay, my sonsH1121; for it is no goodH2896 reportH8052 that I hearH8085: ye make Yhwh'sH3068 peopleH5971 to transgressH5674.4 25If one manH376 sinH2398 against anotherH376, the judgeH430 shall judgeH6419 him: but if a manH376 sinH2398 against YhwhH3068, who shall intreatH6419 for him? Notwithstanding they hearkenedH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of their fatherH1, because YhwhH3068 wouldH2654 slayH4191 them. 26And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1432 onH1980, and was in favourH2896 both with YhwhH3068, and also with menH582.
