1 Samuel 2:24-26

Lexham English Bible

²⁴ No, my sons, the report is not good that I am hearing the people of Yahweh spreading. ²⁵ If a man sins against a man, then God can intercede for him. But if a man sins against Yahweh, who can intercede for him?” But they did not obey^[a] their father, because Yahweh wanted to kill them. ²⁶ But the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor^[b] with Yahweh and with the people.
