- If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned up first, and then take whatever you want," the servant would then answer, "No, hand it over now; if you don't, I'll take it by force."
- This sin of the young men was very great in the LORD's sight, for they were treating the LORD's offering with contempt.
- But Samuel was ministering before the LORD -a boy wearing a linen ephod.
- Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
- Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, "May the LORD give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed for and gave to the LORD." Then they would go home.

- If the man said to him, "They must surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as you desire," then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."
- Thus the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for the men despised the offering of the LORD.
- Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD, as a boy wearing a linen ephod.
- And his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year when she would come up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
- Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, "May the LORD give you children from this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD." And they went to their own home.
