gltv - 1Samuel:2:12-26

gltv@1Samuel:2:12 @ And the sons of Eli were sons of worthlessness; they did not know Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the custom of the priests with the people was: any man offering a sacrifice, (and the priest's servant came when the flesh was boiling, with the three-toothed hook in his hand),

gltv@1Samuel:2:14 @ even he stuck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the hook brought up, the priest took for himself. So they did to all Israel who came in there to Shiloh.

gltv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Yea, before they made the fat to smoke, then the priest's servant came in. And he said to the man who was sacrificing, Give meat to roast for the priest; and he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.

gltv@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if the man said to him, Let the fat be made to smoke as the day, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would say, No, but you shall give now. And if not, I will take it by force.

gltv@1Samuel:2:17 @ And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for the men had despised the offering of Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:2:18 @ And Samuel was serving before Jehovah, a boy girded with an ephod of linen.

gltv@1Samuel:2:19 @ And his mother made a small coat for him, and she brought it up to him from year to year, as she came up with her husband to offer the sacrifice of the days.

gltv@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah shall give you seed of this woman, because of the petition she prayed to Jehovah. And they went away to their place.

gltv@1Samuel:2:21 @ So Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew up with Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:2:22 @ And Eli was very old, and had heard all that his sons did to Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled by troops at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

gltv@1Samuel:2:23 @ And he said to them, Why do you do things like these? For I am hearing of your evil doings from all these people.

gltv@1Samuel:2:24 @ No my sons, for the report which I am hearing is not good, causing the people of Jehovah to transgress.

gltv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If a man sins against a man, then God shall judge him. But if a man sins against Jehovah, who shall pray for him? But they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah desired to execute them.

gltv@1Samuel:2:26 @ And the boy Samuel went on, growing both in stature and in good looks, both with Jehovah and also with men.
