1 Samuel / Question
Question source
1 Samuel
A man of God said the Lord would cut off strength from Eli’s house so that none would grow old. As a sign, both of Eli’s sons would die on the same day. 1 Samuel 2:31–34
31Behold, the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and the arm of your father`s house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
32You shall see the affliction of [my] habitation, in all the wealth which [God] shall give Israel; and there shall not be an old man in your house forever.
33The man of yours, [whom] I shall not cut off from my altar, [shall be] to consume your eyes, and to grieve your heart; and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower of their age.
34This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.
