For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them.

I told Eli I would punish his family forever. He knew his sons were sinning. He knew they were saying bad things about me. In spite of that, he did not stop them.

And I declare to him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, and he did not restrain them.

“ If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.

Now the sons of Eli were scoundrels who had no respect for the Lord

So the sin of these young men was very serious in the Lord’s sight, for they treated the Lord’s offerings with contempt.

Discipline your children while there is hope. Otherwise you will ruin their lives.

Now his father, King David, had never disciplined him at any time, even by asking,“ Why are you doing that?” Adonijah had been born next after Absalom, and he was very handsome.

To discipline a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.

“ Therefore, I will judge each of you, O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign Lord. Repent, and turn from your sins. Don’t let them destroy you!

Don’t fail to discipline your children. The rod of punishment won’t kill them.Physical discipline may well save them from death.

For you know how often you yourself have cursed others.

The king also said to Shimei,“ You certainly remember all the wicked things you did to my father, David. May the Lord now bring that evil on your own head.

“ Let the nations be called to arms. Let them march to the valley of Jehoshaphat. There I, the Lord, will sit to pronounce judgment on them all.

O our God, won’t you stop them? We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.”

Now Eli was very old, but he was aware of what his sons were doing to the people of Israel. He knew, for instance, that his sons were seducing the young women who assisted at the entrance of the Tabernacle.Eli said to them,“ I have been hearing reports from all the people about the wicked things you are doing. Why do you keep sinning?You must stop, my sons! The reports I hear among the Lord’s people are not good.If someone sins against another person, God can mediate for the guilty party. But if someone sins against the Lord, who can intercede?” But Eli’s sons wouldn’t listen to their father, for the Lord was already planning to put them to death.Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew taller and grew in favor with the Lord and with the people.One day a man of God came to Eli and gave him this message from the Lord:“ I revealed myself to your ancestors when they were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt.I chose your ancestor Aaron from among all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer sacrifices on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear the priestly vest as he served me. And I assigned the sacrificial offerings to you priests.So why do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings? Why do you give your sons more honor than you give me— for you and they have become fat from the best offerings of my people Israel!“ Therefore, the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I promised that your branch of the tribe of Levi would always be my priests. But I will honor those who honor me, and I will despise those who think lightly of me.The time is coming when I will put an end to your family, so it will no longer serve as my priests. All the members of your family will die before their time. None will reach old age.You will watch with envy as I pour out prosperity on the people of Israel. But no members of your family will ever live out their days.The few not cut off from serving at my altar will survive, but only so their eyes can go blind and their hearts break, and their children will die a violent death.And to prove that what I have said will come true, I will cause your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, to die on the same day!“ Then I will raise up a faithful priest who will serve me and do what I desire. I will establish his family, and they will be priests to my anointed kings forever.Then all of your surviving family will bow before him, begging for money and food.‘ Please,’ they will say,‘ give us jobs among the priests so we will have enough to eat.’”

No hope remains, for I will unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.
