## 1 Samuel 2:27-32 in Context (Verses 24–35 KJV)
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/24) Nay, my sons; for *it is* no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’s people to transgress.*
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/25) If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/26) And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/27) ¶ And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/28) And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel *to be* my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
 
 [29 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/29) Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded *in my* habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/30) Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed *that* thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/31) Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/32) And thou shalt see an enemy *in my* habitation, in all *the wealth* which *God* shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.*
 
 [33 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/33) And the man of thine, *whom* I shall not cut off from mine altar, *shall be* to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.*
 
 [34 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/34) And this *shall be* a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/1-samuel/2/35) And I will raise me up a faithful priest, *that* shall do according to *that* which *is* in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
