09:002:026 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the
           lord, and also with men.

09:002:027 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus
           saith the lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy
           father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?

09:002:028 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my
           priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an
           ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father
           all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

09:002:029 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which
           I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons
           above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the
           offerings of Israel my people?

09:002:030 Wherefore the lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy
           house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for
           ever:  but now the lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that
           honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be
           lightly esteemed.

09:002:031 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the
           arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man
           in thine house.

09:002:032 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the
           wealth which God shall give Israel:  and there shall not be an
           old man in thine house for ever.

09:002:033 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine
           altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine
           heart:  and all the increase of thine house shall die in the
           flower of their age.

09:002:034 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy
           two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die
           both of them.

09:002:035 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do
           according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind:  and I
           will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine
           anointed for ever.

09:002:036 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in
           thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver
           and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee,
           into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of
           bread.

09:003:001 And the child Samuel ministered unto the lord before Eli.  And
           the word of the lord was precious in those days; there was no
           open vision.

09:003:002 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in
           his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not
           see;
