12 ♥ 📝 Now the sons^H1121 of Eli^H5941 were base^H1100 men;^H1121 they knew^H3045 not Jehovah.^H3068

17 ♥ 📝 And the sin^H2403 of the young men^H5288 was very^H3966 great^H1419 before^H6440 Jehovah;^H3068 for the men^H582 despised^H5006 the offering^H4503 of Jehovah.^H3068

22 ♥ 📝 Now Eli^H5941 was very^H3966 old;^H2204 and he heard^H8085 all that his sons^H1121 did^H6213 unto all Israel,^H3478 and how that they lay^H7901 with the women^H802 that did service^H6633 at the door^H6607 of the tent^H168 of meeting.^H4150

25 ♥ 📝 If one man^H376 sin^H2398 against another,^H376 God^H430 shall judge^H6419 him; but if a man^H376 sin^H2398 against Jehovah,^H3068 who shall entreat^H6419 for him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened^H8085 not unto the voice^H6963 of their father,^H1 because Jehovah^H3068 was minded^H2654 to slay^H4191 them.

26 ♥ 📝 And the child^H5288 Samuel^H8050 grew^H1432 on,^H1980 and increased in favor^H2896 both with Jehovah,^H3068 and also with men.^H582

29 ♥ 📝 Wherefore kick^H1163 ye at my sacrifice^H2077 and at mine offering,^H4503 which I have commanded^H6680 in my habitation,^H4583 and honorest^H3513 thy sons^H1121 above me, to make yourselves fat^H1254 with the chiefest^H7225 of all the offerings^H4503 of Israel^H3478 my people?^H5971
