1 Samuel / Question
Question source
1 Samuel
God told Samuel he would judge Eli’s house for the iniquity Eli knew about, because his sons were blaspheming and he did not restrain them. The text says the iniquity of Eli’s house would not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering. 1 Samuel 3:11–14
11Yahweh said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
12In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
13For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse on themselves, and he didn`t restrain them.
14Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli`s house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever.
