1 Samuel 2:12-14

New International Reader's Version

Eli’s Evil Sons

¹² Eli’s sons were good for nothing. They didn’t honor the Lord. ¹³ When any of the people came to offer a sacrifice, here is what the priests would do. While the meat was being boiled, the servant of the priest would come with a large fork in his hand. ¹⁴ He would stick the fork into the pan or pot or small or large kettle. Then the priest would take for himself everything the fork brought up. That’s how Eli’s sons treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
