NASB | 1 Samuel 2:25 "If one man sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them to death. |

Bible Question: Any thoughts on the phrase "it was the Lord's will to slay them"? Was this part of his original plan? |
Bible Answer: Goodmorning. 2 Peter 3:9b Says God is unwilling for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. It's not in Gods plan to kill anyone. With this in minde go back to 2Sam 2:12 and read up to vs.25. Eli's sons were into some absolutly despicable stuff. God will go a long way with us but the time comes when one refuses to deal with their sin then God will expose that sin and deal with it. God will not endure a nonrepentant heart forever. This was where Eli's sons were at.It's important here to know that Eli's sons did not know the Lord.(vs 12) They had no relationship with God. In Christ lionheart |
