1 Samuel 2:22-26 - Eli Rebukes His Evil Sons

22 And Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who gathered at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 23 And he said to them, Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings by all the people. 24 No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear. You make Jehovah's people to transgress. 25 If one man sins against another, the judge shall judge him. But if a man sins against Jehovah, who shall plead for him? But they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah desired to kill them. 26 And the child Samuel went on growing both in stature and in goodness, both with Jehovah and also with men.
