1 Samuel 2:12-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Eli’s Family Judged

¹² Eli’s sons were wicked men;^(A) they had no regard for the Lord^{(B) 13} or for the priests’ share of the sacrifices from the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling ¹⁴ and plunge it into the container or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot.^(C) The priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is the way they treated all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh.
