1 Samuel 2:22-33

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>_.
And there came
<0935> (8799)
a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
unto Eli
<05941>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Did I plainly
<01540> (8736)
appear
<01540> (8738)
unto the house
<01004>
of thy father
<01>_,
when they were in Egypt
<04714>
in Pharaoh's
<06547>
house
<01004>_?
And did I choose
<0977> (8800)
him out of all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
[to be] my priest
<03548>_,
to offer
<05927> (8800)
upon mine altar
<04196>_,
to burn
<06999> (8687)
incense
<07004>_,
to wear
<05375> (8800)
an ephod
<0646>
before
<06440>
me? and did I give
<05414> (8799)
unto the house
<01004>
of thy father
<01>
all the offerings made by fire
<0801>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_?
Wherefore kick
<01163> (8799)
ye at my sacrifice
<02077>
and at mine offering
<04503>_,
which I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
[in my] habitation
<04583>_;
and honourest
<03513> (8762)
thy sons
<01121>
above me, to make yourselves fat
<01254> (8687)
with the chiefest
<07225>
of all the offerings
<04503>
of Israel
<03478>
my people
<05971>_?
Wherefore the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
saith
<05002> (8803)_,
I said
<0559> (8804)
indeed
<0559> (8800)
[that] thy house
<01004>_,
and the house
<01004>
of thy father
<01>_,
should walk
<01980> (8691)
before
<06440>
me for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
but now the LORD
<03068>
saith
<05002> (8803)_,
Be it far from me
<02486>_;
for them that honour
<03513> (8764)
me I will honour
<03513> (8762)_,
and they that despise
<0959> (8802)
me shall be lightly esteemed
<07043> (8799)_.
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
that I will cut off
<01438> (8804)
thine arm
<02220>_,
and the arm
<02220>
of thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
that there shall not be an old man
<02205>
in thine house
<01004>_.
And thou shalt see
<05027> (8689)
an enemy
<06862>
[in my] habitation
<04583>_,
in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give
<03190> (8686)
Israel
<03478>_:
and there shall not be an old man
<02205>
in thine house
<01004>
for ever
<03117>_.
{an enemy...: or, the affliction of the tabernacle, for all the wealth which God would have given Israel}
And the man
<0376>
of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off
<03772> (8686)
from mine altar
<04196>_,
[shall be] to consume
<03615> (8763)
thine eyes
<05869>_,
and to grieve
<0109>
thine heart
<05315>_:
and all the increase
<04768>
of thine house
<01004>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
in the flower of their age
<0582>_.
{in the flower...: Heb. men}
