1 Samuel 2:22-26 - Eli Rebukes His Evil Sons
22 Eli was very old and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how they slept with the women that waited in the door of the tabernacle of witness, 23 and said unto them, "Why do ye such things? For I hear your wicked deeds of all these people. 24 Oh, nay my sons: For it is no good report that I hear how that ye make the LORD's people to trespass. 25 If one man sin against another, the judge can redress it. But if a man sin against the LORD, who can redress it?" Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, for the LORD's will was to slay them. 26 But the child Samuel profited and grew, and was in favour both with the LORD and also with men.
