Bible. Samuel, 1st
all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
002:029 Why kick you at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have
commanded in [my] habitation, and honor your sons above me,
to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings
of Israel my people?
002:030 Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed
that your house, and the house of your father, should walk
before me forever: but now Yahweh says, Be it far from me;
for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise
me shall be lightly esteemed.
002:031 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and the arm
of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man
in your house.
002:032 You shall see the affliction of [my] habitation, in all the wealth
which [God] shall give Israel; and there shall not be an old
man in your house forever.
002:033 The man of yours, [whom] I shall not cut off from my altar,
[shall be] to consume your eyes, and to grieve your heart;
and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower
of their age.
002:034 This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons,
on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.
002:035 I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do
according to that which is in my heart and in my mind:
and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before
my anointed forever.
002:036 It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall
come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf
of bread, and shall say, Please put me into one of the priests'
offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.

The word of Yahweh was precious in those days; there was
no frequent vision.
003:002 It happened at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place
(now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
003:003 and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel had laid
down [to sleep], in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark
of God was;
003:004 that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, Here am I.
003:005 He ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you called me.
He said, I didn't call; lie down again. He went and lay down.
003:006 Yahweh called yet again, Samuel. Samuel arose and went to Eli,
and said, Here am I; for you called me. He answered,
I didn't call, my son; lie down again.
003:007 Now Samuel didn't yet know Yahweh, neither was the word
of Yahweh yet revealed to him.
003:008 Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. He arose
and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you called me.
Eli perceived that Yahweh had called the child.
