Prophecy Against Eli’s Household
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with Judg. 13:24; 1 Sam. 2:26; 3:19–21; Luke 1:80; 2:40the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 23 So he said to them, "Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people. 24 No, my sons! For itis not a good report that I hear. You make the Lord’s people transgress. 25 If one man sins against another, Ex. 38:8God will judge him. But if a man Deut. 1:17; 25:1, 2sins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?" Nevertheless they did not heed the voice of their father, Num. 15:30because the Lord desired to kill them.
