Eli's Evil Sons

¹¹ Elkanah went home to Ramah. The child served Jehovah before Eli the priest. ¹² Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the Lord ¹³ The priests had a custom with the people. If any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand.
