1 Samuel 2:23 in Context — 1 Samuel 2
21 Lorsque l’Éternel eut visité Anne, elle devint enceinte, et elle enfanta trois fils et deux filles. Et le jeune Samuel grandissait auprès de l’Éternel.
22 Éli était fort âgé et il apprit comment ses fils agissaient à l’égard de tout Israël; il apprit aussi qu’ils couchaient avec les femmes qui s’assemblaient à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation.
23 Il leur dit: Pourquoi faites-vous de telles choses? Car j’apprends de tout le peuple vos mauvaises actions.
24 Non, mes enfants, ce que j’entends dire n’est pas bon; vous faites pécher le peuple de l’Éternel.
25 Si un homme pèche contre un autre homme, Dieu le jugera; mais s’il pèche contre l’Éternel, qui intercédera pour lui? Et ils n’écoutèrent point la voix de leur père, car l’Éternel voulait les faire mourir.
