20 Y Eli bendijo á Elcana y á su mujer, diciendo: Jehová te dé simiente de esta mujer en lugar de esta petición que hizo á Jehová. Y volviéronse á su casa.

21 Y visitó Jehová á Anna, y concibió, y parió tres hijos, y dos hijas. Y el joven Samuel crecía delante de Jehová.

22 Eli empero era muy viejo, y oyó todo lo que sus hijos hacían á todo Israel, y como dormían con las mujeres que velaban á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

23 Y díjoles: ¿Por qué hacéis cosas semejantes? Porque yo oigo de todo este pueblo vuestros malos procederes.

24 No, hijos míos; porque no es buena fama la que yo oigo: que hacéis pecar al pueblo de Jehová.
