NETBible

The sons of Eli were wicked men.¹ They did not recognize the Lord’s authority.²

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “sons of worthlessness.”

²tn Heb “they did not know the Lord.” The verb here has the semantic nuance “recognize the authority of.” Eli’s sons obviously knew who the Lord was; they served in his sanctuary. But they did not recognize his moral authority.
