1 Samuel 2:27 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 2:27

25 If one man sins against another, ^aGod will judge him. But if a man ^bsins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?” Nevertheless they did not heed the voice of their father, ^cbecause the Lord desired to kill them.

26 And the child Samuel ^agrew in stature, and ^bin favor both with the Lord and men.

27 Then a ^aman of God came to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ^b‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?

28 Did I not ^achoose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And ^bdid I not give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?

29 Why do you ^akick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My ^bdwelling place, and honor your sons more than ^cMe, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?’

30 Therefore the Lord God of Israel says: ^a‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.’ But now the Lord says: ^b‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and ^cthose who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.

31 Behold, ^athe days are coming that I will cut off your¹ arm and the arm of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house.

32 And you will see an enemy in My dwelling place, despite all the good which God does for Israel. And there shall not be ^aan old man in your house forever.
