1 Samuel 2:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ Eli said to his sons, “Why are you doing these terrible things that I’m hearing about from everybody? ²⁴ No, my sons. Don’t do this.^[a] The report I hear spreading among God’s people isn’t good. ²⁵ If someone sins against someone else, God can intercede; but if someone sins against the Lord, who will intercede then?” But they wouldn’t obey their father because the Lord wanted to kill them.
