Settings

2:27And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, I revealed Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt as slaves to Pharaoh's house. Compare
2:28And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, and to wear the ephod before Me. And I gave the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel. Compare
2:29Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering, which I have commanded in My habitation, and honor your sons more than Me by making yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people? Compare
2:30Therefore Jehovah the God of Israel declares, I surely said that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever; but now Jehovah declares, Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who spurn Me will be lightly esteemed. Compare
2:31The days are now coming when I will cut off your arm and the arm of the house of your father, so that there will not be an old man in your house. Compare
2:32And you shall see the distress of My habitation in the midst of all the good that I will do to Israel, and there shall not be an old man in your house forever. Compare
2:33And that man of yours whom I do not cut off from My altar shall be left to consume your eyes and to grieve your soul, and all the increase of your house shall die by the swords of men. Compare
2:34And this will be the sign to you, which will come upon your two sons, upon Hophni and Phinehas: In one day both of them shall die. Compare
2:35And I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in My heart and in My mind; and I will build him a sure house; and he will go before My anointed continually. Compare
2:36And everyone who is left of your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and for a loaf of bread, and will say, Please put me in one of the priests' offices that I may eat a morsel of bread. Compare
3:1And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. Now the word of Jehovah was rare in those days; visions were not widespread. Compare
3:2And at that time Eli lay in his place, and his eyesight had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see. Compare
3:3And the lamp of God had not yet gone out. And Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the Ark of God was. Compare
3:4Then Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Here I am. Compare
3:5And he ran to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. And he said, I did not call. Go back and lie down. And he went and lay down. Compare
3:6And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel rose up and went to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. And he said, I did not call, my son. Go back and lie down. Compare
3:7Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah had not yet been revealed to him. Compare
3:8Then Jehovah called Samuel again, the third time. And he rose up and went to Eli and said, Here I am, for you called me. Then Eli perceived that it was Jehovah calling the boy. Compare
3:9And Eli said to Samuel, Go and lie down, and if He calls you, you shall say, Speak, O Jehovah; for Your servant is listening. And Samuel went and lay down in his place. Compare
3:10Then Jehovah came and stood by and called as at the other times, Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for Your servant is listening. Compare
3:11And Jehovah said to Samuel, I am about to do something in Israel which will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. Compare
3:12On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. Compare
3:13For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever because of the iniquity which he knew; for his sons brought the curse upon themselves, and he did not restrain them. Compare
3:14And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be expiated by sacrifice or by offering forever. Compare
3:15And Samuel lay down until the morning, when he opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli. Compare
3:16But Eli called Samuel and said, Samuel my son. And he said, Here I am. Compare
3:17And he said, What was the word that He spoke to you? Do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and even more, if you hide from me any of the word which He spoke to you. Compare
3:18So Samuel told him everything and did not hide anything from him. And he said, He is Jehovah; let Him do what is good in His sight. Compare
3:19And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. Compare
3:20And all Israel, from Dan to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of Jehovah. Compare
3:21And Jehovah continued to appear in Shiloh, for Jehovah revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah. Compare
