1 Samuel 2:32-34
International Standard Version
32 Distress will settle down to live in your household, and despite all the good that I do for Israel,[a] there will never be an old man in your family forever, and you will never again have an old man in my house.[b] 33 Any of you whom I don’t eliminate from serving at my altar will grow tired from weeping,[c] and their[d] souls will grieve. All the increase of your family will die by violence.[e] 34 Here’s a sign for you—your two sons Hophni and Phineas will both die on the same day!
