AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Samuel 2:22 ¶ Now Eli was very old; and he heard about everything that his sons were doing to all [the people of] Israel, and how they were lying with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle). |
Bible Question: Was Eli the priest lax in his discipline with his sons? |
Bible Answer: Yes he was. But what an understatement! He should have done a Deut. 21:18-21 on them. As it was he lost them all, and totally discredited his ministry. It's interesting to note that Samuel (my favorite person of the OT), who was raised by Eli had the same problem--that is not making sure his boys did right: see I Samuel 8th chapter. A warning to all fathers. Being a son of a PK, I gave it much thought even before becoming a father. mrk |
