Scriptures
1 Samuel 2:31-35 (NIV)
“I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age. What happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day and your family line will be replaced by another, more faithful priest: “I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed one always”.
1 Samuel 3:11-14 (MSG)
“Listen carefully. I’m getting ready to do something in Israel that is going to shake everyone up and get their attention. The time has come for me to bring down on Eli’s family everything I warned him of, every last word of it. I’m letting him know that the time’s up. I’m bringing judgment on his family for good. He knew what was going on, that his sons were desecrating God’s name and God’s place, and he did nothing to stop them. This is my sentence on the family of Eli: The evil of Eli’s family can never be wiped out by sacrifice or offering.”
1 Samuel 3:17-21 (MSG)
17 “What did He say? Tell it to me, all of it. Don’t suppress or soften one word, as God is your judge! I want it all, word for word as He said it to you.”
