1 Samuel 2:24 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

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.

26 Le jeune Samuel continuait à grandir, et il était agréable à l’Éternel et aux hommes.
