1 Samuel 2:20-34 And Eli blessed Elkanah, and his wife, and said, `Yahweh does appoint for you seed of this woman, for the petition which she asked for Yahweh;' and they have gone to their place.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ And Eli blessed Elkanah, and his wife, and said, `Yahweh does appoint for you seed of this woman, for the petition which she asked for Yahweh;' and they have gone to their place. ²¹ When Yahweh has looked after Hannah, then she conceives and bears three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel grows up with Yahweh. ²² And Eli [is] very old, and has heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling [at] the opening of the tent of meeting, ²³ and he said to them, `Why do you things like these? for I am hearing of your evil words from all the people--these!" ²⁴ Nay, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good causing the people of Yahweh to transgress. -. ²⁵ If a man sin against a man, then has Elohim judged him; but if against Yahweh a man sin, who does pray for him?' and they hearken not to the voice of their father, though Yahweh has delighted to put them to death. ²⁶ And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is] good both with Yahweh, and also with men. ²⁷ And there comes a man of Elohim unto Eli, and said unto him, `Thus said Yahweh, Was I really revealed unto the house of your father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh's house, ²⁸ even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to Me for a priest, to go up on Mine altar, to make a perfume, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of your father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel? ²⁹ Why do you kick at My sacrifice, and at Mine offering which I commanded [in] My habitation, and do honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people? ³⁰ `Therefore--the affirmation of Yahweh, Elohim of Israel--I certainly said, Your house and the house of your father, do walk up and down before Me to the eon; and now--the affirmation of Yahweh--Far be it from Me! for he who is honoring Me, I honor, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed. ³¹ `Lo, days [are] coming, and I have cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, that an old man is not in your house;" ³² and you have beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in all that He does good with Israel, and there is not an old man in your house all the days. ³³ `And the man I cut not off of your from Mine altar, [is] to consume your eyes, and to grieve your soul; and all the increase of your house do die men;" ³⁴ and this [is] to you the sign that comes unto your two sons, unto Hophni and Phinehas--in one day they die both of them;"
