And Eli
H1288 [H8765]
blessed
H511
Elkanah
H802
and his wife,
H559 [H8804]
and said,
H3068
The LORD
H7760 [H8799]
give
H2233
thee seed
H802
of this woman
H7596
for the loan
H7592 [H8804]
which is lent
H3068
to the LORD.
H1980 [H8804]
And they went
H4725
to their own home.
21
H3588
And
H3068
the LORD
H6485 [H8804]
visited
H2584
Hannah,
H2029 [H8799]
so that she conceived,
H3205 [H8799]
and bore
H7969
three
H1121
sons
H8147
and two
H1323
daughters.
H5288
And the child
H8050
Samuel
H1431 [H8799]
grew
H5973
before
H3068
the LORD.
22
H5941
Now Eli
H3966
was very
H2204 [H8804]
old,
H8085 [H8804]
and heard
H1121
all that his sons
H6213 [H8799]
did
H3478
to all Israel;
H7901 [H8799]
and how they lay
H802
with the women
H6633 [H8802]
that assembled
H6607
at the door
H168
of the tent
H4150
of meeting.
23
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H6213 [H8799]
to them, Why do
H1697
ye such things?
H8085 [H8802]
for I hear
H7451
of your evil
H1697
dealings
H5971
by all this people.
24
H1121
Nay, my sons;
H2896
for it is no good
H8052
report
H8085 [H8802]
that I hear:
H3068
ye make the LORD'S
H5971
people
H5674 [H8688]
to transgress.
25
H376
If one man
H2398 [H8799]
shall sin
H376
against another,
H430
the judge
H6419 [H8765]
shall judge
H376
him: but if a man
H2398 [H8799]
shall sin
H3068
against the LORD,
H6419 [H8691]
who shall plead
H8085 [H8799]
for him? However they hearkened
H6963
not to the voice
H1
of their father,
H3068
because the LORD
H2654 [H8804]
would
H4191 [H8687]
slay them.
26
H5288
And the child
H8050
Samuel
H1980 [H8802]
continued
H1432
to grow,
H2896
and was in favour
H3068
both with the LORD,
H582
and also with men.
27
H935 [H8799]
And there came
H376
a man
H430
of God
H5941
to Eli,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H559 [H8804]
to him, Thus saith
H3068
the LORD,
H1540 [H8736]
Did I plainly
H1540 [H8738]
appear
H1004
to the house
H1
of thy father,
H4714
when they were in Egypt
H6547
in Pharaoh's
H1004
house?
28
H977 [H8800]
And did I choose
H7626
him out of all the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H3548
to be my priest,
H5927 [H8800]
to offer
H4196
upon my altar,
H6999 [H8687]
to burn
H7004
incense,
H5375 [H8800]
to wear
H646
an ephod
H6440
at the face of
H5414 [H8799]
me? and did I give
H1004
to the house
H1
of thy father
H801
all the offerings made by fire
H1121
of the sons
H3478
of Israel?
29
H1163 [H8799]
Why trample
H2077
ye at my sacrifice
H4503
and at my offering,
H6680 [H8765]
which I have commanded
H4583
in my habitation;
H3513 [H8762]
and honourest
H1121
thy sons
H1254 [H8687]
above me, to make yourselves fat
H7225
with the chiefest
H4503
of all the offerings
H3478
of Israel
H5971
my people?
30
H3068
Therefore the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5002 [H8803]
saith,
H559 [H8804]
I said
H559 [H8800]
indeed
H1004
that thy house,
H1004
and the house
H1
of thy father,
H1980 [H8691]
should walk
H6440
at the face of
H5704
me for
H5769
ever:
H3068
but now the LORD
H5002 [H8803]
saith,
H2486
Be it far from me;
H3513 [H8764]
for them that honour
H3513 [H8762]
me I will honour,
H959 [H8802]
and they that despise
H7043 [H8799]
me shall be lightly esteemed.
31
H3117
Behold, the days
H935 [H8802]
come,
H1438 [H8804]
that I will cut off
H2220
thy arm,
H2220
and the arm
H1
of thy father's
H1004
house,
H2205
that there shall not be an old man
H1004
in thy house.
32
H5027 [H8689]
And thou shalt see
H6862
a constricter
H4583
in my habitation,
H3190 [H8686]
in all the wealth which God shall give
H3478
Israel:
H2205
and there shall not be an old man
H1004
in thy house
H3117
for ever.
