1 Samuel 2:27-29
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 A man of God came to Eli and said to him,(A) “This is what the Lord says: ‘Didn’t I reveal Myself to your ancestral house when it was in Egypt and belonged to Pharaoh’s palace?(B) 28 Out of all the tribes of Israel, I selected your house[a] to be priests, to offer sacrifices on My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in My presence.(C) I also gave your house all the Israelite fire offerings. 29 Why, then, do all of you despise My sacrifices and offerings that I require at the place of worship?(D) You have honored your sons more than Me,(E) by making yourselves fat with the best part of all of the offerings of My people Israel.’
