1 Samuel 2:31 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 2:31

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.

33 But any of your men whom I do not cut off from My altar shall consume your eyes and grieve your heart. And all the descendants of your house shall die in the flower of their age.

34 Now this shall be ^aa sign to you that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: ^bin one day they shall die, both of them.

35 Then ^aI will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. ^bI will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before ^cMy anointed forever.
