10 Diante do SENHOR serão quebrantados seus adversários, E sobre eles trovejará desde os céus: o SENHOR julgará os termos da terra, E dará força a seu Rei, E exaltará o poder de seu ungido.

11 E Elcana se voltou a sua casa em Ramá; e o menino ministrava ao SENHOR diante do sacerdote Eli.

12 Mas os filhos de Eli eram homens ímpios, e não tinham conhecimento do SENHOR.

13 E o costume dos sacerdotes com o povo era que, quando alguém oferecia sacrifício, vinha o criado do sacerdote enquanto a carne estava a cozer, trazendo em sua mão um garfo de três ganchos;

14 E enfiava com ele na caldeira, ou na caçarola, ou no caldeirão, ou no pote; e tudo o que tirava o garfo, o sacerdote o tomava para si. Desta maneira faziam a todo israelita que vinha a Siló.
