[1Sa 2:12-17, 22-25, 27-34 NASB20] 12 Now the sons of Eli were useless men; they did not know the LORD. 13 And [this was] the custom of the priests with the people: [when] anyone was offering a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come while the meat was cooking, with a three-pronged fork in his hand. 14 And he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; everything that the fork brought up, the priest would take for himself. They did so in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. 15 Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest meat for roasting, as he will not take cooked meat from you, only raw." 16 And [if] the man said to him, "They must burn the fat first, then take as much as you desire," then he would say, "No, but you must give [it to me] now; and if not, I am taking it by force!" 17 And [so] the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for the men treated the offering of the LORD disrespectfully. ... 22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard [about] everything that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they slept with the women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 23 So he said to them, "Why are you doing such things as these, the evil things that I hear from all these people? 24 "No, my sons; for the report is not good which I hear the LORD'S people circulating. 25 "If one person sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a person sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them to death. ... 27 Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "This is what the LORD says: 'Did I [not] indeed reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt [in bondage] to Pharaoh's house? 28 'Did I [not] choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me? And did I [not] give to the house of your father all the fire [offerings] of the sons of Israel? 29 'Why are you showing contempt for My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded [for My] dwelling, and [why] are you honoring your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?' 30 "Therefore the LORD God of Israel declares, 'I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father was to walk before Me forever'; but now the LORD declares, 'Far be it from Me--for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be insignificant. 31 'Behold, the days are coming when I will eliminate your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 'And you will look at the distress of [My] dwelling, in [spite of] all the good that I do for Israel; and there will never be an old man in your house. 33 'Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altar, so that your eyes will fail [from weeping] and your soul grieve, and all the increase of your house will die in the prime of life. 34 'And this will be the sign to you which will come in regard to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: on the same day both of them will die.

[1Sa 3:11-14 NASB20] 11 Then the LORD said to Samuel, "Behold, I am going to do a thing in Israel, [and] both ears of everyone who hears [about] it will ring. 12 "On that day I will carry out against Eli everything that I have spoken in regard to his house, from beginning to end. 13 "For I have told him that I am going to judge his house forever for the wrongdoing that he knew, because his sons were bringing a curse on themselves and he did not rebuke them. 14 "Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the wrongdoing of Eli's house shall never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering."

[1Sa 4:1-4, 10-22 NASB20] 1 So the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle, and they camped beside Ebenezer, while the Philistines camped in Aphek. 2 Then the Philistines drew up in battle formation to meet Israel. When the battle spread, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men on the battlefield. 3 When the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let's take the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh, so that He may come among us and save us from the power of our enemies." 4 So the people sent [men] to Shiloh, and from there they carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD of armies who is enthroned [above] the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, [were] there with the ark of the covenant of God. ... 10 So the Philistines fought and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent; and the defeat was very great, for thirty thousand foot soldiers of Israel fell. 11 Moreover, the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died. 12 Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn, and dust on his head. 13 When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on [his] seat by the road keeping watch, because his heart was anxious about the ark of God. And the man came to give a report in the city, and all the city cried out. 14 When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, "What [does] the noise of this commotion [mean?]" Then the man came hurriedly and told Eli. 15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were fixed and he could not see. 16 The man said to Eli, "I am the one who came from the battle line. Indeed, I escaped from the battle line today." And he said, "How are things, my son?" 17 Then the one who brought the news replied, "Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great defeat among the people, and your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas are also dead; and the ark of God has been taken." 18 When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy. And [so] he judged Israel for forty years. 19 Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was pregnant [and about] to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God had been taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, because her pains came upon her. 20 And about the time of her death the women who were standing by her said to her, "Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer or pay attention. 21 And she named the boy Ichabod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel," because the ark of God had been taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband. 22 So she said, "The glory has departed from Israel, because the ark of God has been taken."
