1 Samuel 2:12

The sons of Eli were sons of Belial - They were perverse, wicked, profligate men; devil' s children. They knew not the Lord.

\ri720 "They know! nor would an angel show Him; They would not know, nor choose to know Him."

These men were the principal cause of all the ungodliness of Israel. Their most execrable conduct, described I Samuel 2:13-17, caused the people to abhor the Lord' s offering. An impious priesthood is the grand cause of the transgressions and ruin of any nation; witness France, Germany, Spain, Ac., from 1792 to 1814.
