1 Samuel 2:12-26

Now the sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>
[were] sons
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_;
they knew
<03045> (8804)
not the LORD
<03068>_.
And the priests
<03548>_'
custom
<04941>
with the people
<05971>
[was, that], when any man
<0376>
offered
<02076> (8802)
sacrifice
<02077>_,
the priest's
<03548>
servant
<05288>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
while the flesh
<01320>
was in seething
<01310> (8763)_,
with a fleshhook
<04207>
of three
<07969>
teeth
<08127>
in his hand
<03027>_;
And he struck
<05221> (8689)
[it] into the pan
<03595>_,
or kettle
<01731>_,
or caldron
<07037>_,
or pot
<06517>_;
all that the fleshhook
<04207>
brought up
<05927> (8686)
the priest
<03548>
took
<03947> (8799)
for himself. So they did
<06213> (8799)
in Shiloh
<07887>
unto all the Israelites
<03478>
that came
<0935> (8802)
thither.
Also before they burnt
<06999> (8686)
the fat
<02459>_,
the priest's
<03548>
servant
<05288>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
and said
<0559> (8804)
to the man
<0376>
that sacrificed
<02076> (8802)_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
flesh
<01320>
to roast
<06740> (8800)
for the priest
<03548>_;
for he will not have
<03947> (8799)
sodden
<01310> (8794)
flesh
<01320>
of thee, but raw
<02416>_.
And [if] any man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Let them not fail
<06999> (8686)
to burn
<06999> (8763)
the fat
<02459>
presently
<03117>_,
and [then] take
<03947> (8798)
[as much] as thy soul
<05315>
desireth
<0183> (8762)_;
then he would answer
<0559> (8804)
him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)
[it me] now: and if not, I will take
<03947> (8804)
[it] by force
<02394>_.
{presently: Heb. as on the day}
Wherefore the sin
<02403>
of the young men
<05288>
was very
<03966>
great
<01419>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
for men
<0582>
abhorred
<05006> (8765)
the offering
<04503>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
But Samuel
<08050>
ministered
<08334> (8764)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
[being] a child
<05288>_,
girded
<02296> (8803)
with a linen
<0906>
ephod
<0646>_.
Moreover his mother
<0517>
made
<06213> (8799)
him a little
<06996>
coat
<04598>_,
and brought
<05927> (8689)
[it] to him from year
<03117>
to year
<03117>_,
when she came up
<05927> (8800)
with her husband
<0376>
to offer
<02076> (8800)
the yearly
<03117>
sacrifice
<02077>_.
And Eli
<05941>
blessed
<01288> (8765)
Elkanah
<0511>
and his wife
<0802>_,
and said
<0559> (8804)_,
The LORD
<03068>
give
<07760> (8799)
thee seed
<02233>
of this woman
<0802>
for the loan
<07596>
which is lent
<07592> (8804)
to the LORD
<03068>_.
And they went
<01980> (8804)
unto their own home
<04725>_.
{loan...: or, petition which she asked, etc}
And
<03588>
the LORD
<03068>
visited
<06485> (8804)
Hannah
<02584>_,
so that she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
three
<07969>
sons
<01121>
and two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_.
And the child
<05288>
Samuel
<08050>
grew
<01431> (8799)
before
<05973>
the LORD
<03068>_.
Now Eli
<05941>
was very
<03966>
old
<02204> (8804)_,
and heard
<08085> (8804)
all that his sons
<01121>
did
<06213> (8799)
unto all Israel
<03478>_;
and how they lay
<07901> (8799)
with the women
<0802>
that assembled
<06633> (8802)
[at] the door
<06607>
of the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_.
{assembled: Heb. assembled by troops}
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Why do
<06213> (8799)
ye such things
<01697>_?
for I hear
<08085> (8802)
of your evil
<07451>
dealings
<01697>
by all this people
<05971>_.
{of your...: or, evil words of you}
Nay, my sons
<01121>_;
for [it is] no good
<02896>
report
<08052>
that I hear
<08085> (8802)_:
ye make the LORD'S
<03068>
people
<05971>
to transgress
<05674> (8688)_.
{transgress: or, cry out}
If one man
<0376>
sin
<02398> (8799)
against another
<0376>_,
the judge
<0430>
shall judge
<06419> (8765)
him: but if a man
<0376>
sin
<02398> (8799)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
who shall intreat
<06419> (8691)
for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened
<08085> (8799)
not unto the voice
<06963>
of their father
<01>_,
because the LORD
<03068>
would
<02654> (8804)
slay
<04191> (8687)
them.
And the child
<05288>
Samuel
<08050>
grew
<01432>
on
<01980> (8802)_,
and was in favour
<02896>
both with the LORD
<03068>_,
and also with men
<0582>_.
