1 Samuel 2:18-26

18But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, being a childH5288, girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephodH646.

19Moreover his motherH517 madeH6213 him a littleH6996 robeH4598, and broughtH5927 it to him from yearH3117 to yearH3117, when sheH517 cameH5927 upH5927 with herH3117 husbandH376 to offerH5927 the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077.

20And EliH5941 blessedH1288 ElkanahH511 and his wifeH802, and saidH559, The LORDH3068 giveH7760 thee seedH2233 of this womanH802 for the loan whichH834 was lent to the LORDH3068. And they wentH1980 unto their own homeH4725.

21And the LORDH3068 visitedH6485 HannahH2584, and sheH3588 conceivedH2029, and bare threeH7969 sonsH1121 and twoH8147 daughtersH1323. And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1431 beforeH5973 the LORDH3068.

22NowH8085 EliH5941 was veryH3966 oldH1121; and he heardH8085 allH3605 that his sonsH1121 didH6213 unto allH3605 IsraelH3478, and howH834 that they layH7901 with the womenH802 that didH6213 service at the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150.

23And he saidH559 unto them, WhyH4100 doH6213 ye suchH428 things? for I hearH8085 of your evilH7451 dealingsH1697 from allH3605 this peopleH5971.

24Nay, my sonsH1121; for it is noH3808 goodH2896 reportH8052 that I hearH8085: ye makeH8085 the LORD’SH3068 peopleH5971 to transgressH5674.

25IfH518 one manH376 sinH2398 againstH2398 anotherH376, GodH430 shall judge him: but ifH518 a manH376 sinH2398 againstH2398 the LORDH3068, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened notH3808 unto the voiceH6963 of their fatherH1, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 would slayH4191 them.

26And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1980 on, and was in favour bothH1571 with the LORDH3068, and also with menH376.
