Old Testament1 SamuelEli Rebukes His Sons · 2:22–262:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.2:23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.2:24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’s people to transgress.2:25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.2:26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
