1 Samuel 2:24-26

American Standard Version

²⁴ Nay, my sons; for it is no good report ^[a]that I hear: ye make Jehovah’s people to transgress. ²⁵ If one man sin against another, ^[b]God shall judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because Jehovah was minded to slay them. ²⁶ And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
