1 Samuel 2:26-36

2:26

And the child
<05288>

Samuel
<08050>

grew
<01432>

on
<01980> (8802)_,

and was in favour
<02896>

both with the LORD
<03068>_,

and also with men
<0582>_.

2:27

And there came
<0935> (8799)

a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

unto Eli
<05941>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Did I plainly
<01540> (8736)

appear
<01540> (8738)

unto the house
<01004>

of thy father
<01>_,

when they were in Egypt
<04714>

in Pharaoh's
<06547>

house
<01004>_?

2:28

And did I choose
<0977> (8800)

him out of all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

[to be] my priest
<03548>_,

to offer
<05927> (8800)

upon mine altar
<04196>_,

to burn
<06999> (8687)

incense
<07004>_,

to wear
<05375> (8800)

an ephod
<0646>

before
<06440>

me? and did I give
<05414> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of thy father
<01>

all the offerings made by fire
<0801>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_?

2:29

Wherefore kick
<01163> (8799)

ye at my sacrifice
<02077>

and at mine offering
<04503>_,

which I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

[in my] habitation
<04583>_;

and honourest
<03513> (8762)

thy sons
<01121>

above me, to make yourselves fat
<01254> (8687)

with the chiefest
<07225>

of all the offerings
<04503>

of Israel
<03478>

my people
<05971>_?

2:30

Wherefore the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

saith
<05002> (8803)_,

I said
<0559> (8804)

indeed
<0559> (8800)

[that] thy house
<01004>_,

and the house
<01004>

of thy father
<01>_,

should walk
<01980> (8691)

before
<06440>

me for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_:

but now the LORD
<03068>

saith
<05002> (8803)_,

Be it far from me
<02486>_;

for them that honour
<03513> (8764)

me I will honour
<03513> (8762)_,

and they that despise
<0959> (8802)

me shall be lightly esteemed
<07043> (8799)_.

2:31

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

that I will cut off
<01438> (8804)

thine arm
<02220>_,

and the arm
<02220>

of thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

that there shall not be an old man
<02205>

in thine house
<01004>_.

2:32

And thou shalt see
<05027> (8689)

an enemy
<06862>

[in my] habitation
<04583>_,

in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give
<03190> (8686)

Israel
<03478>_:

and there shall not be an old man
<02205>

in thine house
<01004>

for ever
<03117>_.

{an enemy...: or, the affliction of the tabernacle, for all the wealth which God would have given Israel}

2:33

And the man
<0376>

of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off
<03772> (8686)

from mine altar
<04196>_,

[shall be] to consume
<03615> (8763)

thine eyes
<05869>_,

and to grieve
<0109>

thine heart
<05315>_:

and all the increase
<04768>

of thine house
<01004>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

in the flower of their age
<0582>_.

{in the flower...: Heb. men}

2:34

And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>

unto thee, that shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon thy two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

on Hophni
<02652>

and Phinehas
<06372>_;

in one
<0259>

day
<03117>

they shall die
<04191> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them.

2:35

And I will raise me up
<06965> (8689)

a faithful
<0539> (8737)

priest
<03548>_,

[that] shall do
<06213> (8799)

according to [that] which [is] in mine heart
<03824>

and in my mind
<05315>_:

and I will build
<01129> (8804)

him a sure
<0539> (8737)

house
<01004>_;

and he shall walk
<01980> (8694)

before
<06440>

mine anointed
<04899>

for ever
<03117>_.

2:36

And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left
<03498> (8737)

in thine house
<01004>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

[and] crouch
<07812> (8692)

to him for a piece
<095>

of silver
<03701>

and a morsel
<03603>

of bread
<03899>_,

and shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Put
<05596> (8798)

me, I pray thee, into one
<0259>

of the priests' offices
<03550>_,

that I may eat
<0398> (8800)

a piece
<06595>

of bread
<03899>_.
