“ Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Eli’s sons were good for nothing. They didn’t honor the Lord.

That sin of Eli’s sons was very great in the Lord’ s sight. That’s because they were not treating his offering with respect.

Train your children, because then there is hope. Don’t do anything to bring about their deaths.

His father had never tried to stop him from doing what he wanted to. His father had never asked him,“ Why are you acting the way you do?” Adonijah was also very handsome. Now that Absalom was dead, Adonijah was David’s oldest son.

If a child is corrected, they become wise. But a child who is not corrected brings shame to their mother.

“ So I will judge you Israelites. I will judge each of you in keeping with what you have done,” announces the Lord and King.“ Turn away from your sins! Turn away from all the evil things you have done. Then sin will not bring you down.

Don’t hold back correction from a child. If you correct them, they won’t die.So correct them. Then you will save them from death.

Many times you yourself have cursed others. Deep down inside, you know that’s true.

The king continued,“ You know all the wrong things you did to my father David. In your heart you know them. Now the Lord will pay you back for what you did.

The Lord says,“ Stir up the nations into action! Let them march into the valley where I will judge them. I will take my seat in court. I will judge all the surrounding nations.

Our God, won’t you please judge them? We don’t have the power to face this huge army that’s attacking us. We don’t know what to do. But we’re looking to you to help us.”

Eli was very old. He kept hearing about everything his sons were doing to all the Israelites. He also heard how his sons were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.So Eli said to his sons,“ Why are you doing these things? All the people are telling me about the evil things you are doing.No, my sons. The report I hear isn’t good. And it’s spreading among the Lord’ s people.If a person sins against someone else, God can help that sinner. But if anyone sins against the Lord, who can help them?” In spite of what their father Eli said, his sons didn’t pay any attention to his warning. That’s because the Lord had already decided to put them to death.The boy Samuel continued to grow stronger. He also became more and more pleasing to the Lord and to people.A man of God came to Eli. He told him,“ The Lord says,‘ I made myself clearly known to your relatives who lived long ago. I did it when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh’s rule.At that time, I chose Aaron from your family line to be my priest. I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel. I told him to go up to my altar. I told him to burn incense. I chose him to wear a linen apron when he served me. I also gave his family all the food offerings presented by the Israelites.Why don’t you treat my sacrifices and offerings with respect? I require them to be brought to the house where I live. Why do you honor your sons more than me? Why do you fatten yourselves on the best parts of every offering that is made by my people Israel?’“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He announced,‘ I promised that members of your family line would serve me as priests forever.’ But now the Lord announces,‘ I will not let that happen! I will honor those who honor me. But I will turn away from those who look down on me.The time is coming when I will cut your life short. I will also cut short the lives of those in your family line of priests. No one in your family line will grow old.You will see nothing but trouble in the house where I live. Good things will still happen to Israel. But no one in your family line will ever grow old.I will prevent the members of your family from serving me at my altar. I will destroy the eyesight of all of you I allow to live. I will also cause you to lose your strength. And everyone in your family line will die while they are still young.“‘ Something is going to happen to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. When it does, it will show you that what I am saying is true. They will both die on the same day.I will raise up for myself a faithful priest. He will do what my heart and mind want him to do. I will make his family line of priests very secure. They will always serve as priests to my anointed king.Everyone left in your family line will come and bow down to him. They will beg him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread. They will say,“ Please give me a place to serve among the priests. Then I can have food to eat.” ’ ”

The end has now come for you. I will pour out my anger on you. I will judge you based on how you have lived. I will pay you back for all your evil practices. I hate them.
