1 S. 2:12‑17,22• 12Mas los hijos de Eli eran hombres impíos, y no tenían conocimiento de Jehová.
13Y la costumbre de los sacerdotes con el pueblo era que, cuando alguno ofrecía sacrificio, venía el criado del sacerdote mientras la carne estaba á cocer, trayendo en su mano un garfio de tres ganchos;
14Y hería con él en la caldera, ó en la olla, ó en el caldero, ó en el pote; y todo lo que sacaba el garfio, el sacerdote lo tomaba para si. De esta manera hacían á todo Israelita que venía á Silo.
15Asimismo, antes de quemar el sebo, venía el criado del sacerdote, y decía al que sacrificaba: Da carne que ase para el sacerdote; porque no tomará de ti carne cocida, sino cruda.
16Y si le respondía el varón, Quemen luego el sebo hoy, y después toma tanta como quisieres; él respondía: No, sino ahora la has de dar: de otra manera yo la tomaré por fuerza.
17Era pues el pecado de los mozos muy grande delante de Jehová; porque los hombres menospreciaban los sacrificios de Jehová.
22Eli empero era muy viejo, y oyó todo lo que sus hijos hacían á todo Israel, y como dormían con las mujeres que velaban á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

with the ark.
 Hophni and Phinehas, with inconceivable hardihood, took the ark of God from the holiest into their midst. They were not afraid "to dare the glory in its face," to minister to the superstitious cravings of the people, and to magnify their own importance among them. Then the judgment of God made manifest to all what was already known to Samuel. (Samuel the Prophet)
