1 Samuel 2:28 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

26 E o jovem Samuel ia crescendo e sendo bem estimando diante de Deus e diante das pessoas.

27 E veio um homem de Deus a Eli, e disse-lhe: “Assim diz o SENHOR: ‘Acaso não me manifestei à casa do teu pai, quando estavam no Egito, na casa de Faraó?

28 E eu o escolhi para ser o meu sacerdote dentre todas as tribos de Israel, para que oferecesse sobre o meu altar, e queimasse incenso, e para que vestisse o éfode diante de mim; e dei à casa do teu pai todas as ofertas dos filhos de Israel.

29 Por que pisaste os meus sacrifícios e as minhas ofertas, que eu mandei oferecer no tabernáculo? E por que honraste aos teus filhos mais que a mim, para vos engordardes do principal de todas as ofertas do meu povo Israel?’

30 Por isso, o SENHOR, o Deus de Israel, diz: ‘Eu havia dito que a tua casa e a casa de teu pai andariam diante de mim perpetuamente;’ mas agora diz o SENHOR: ‘Longe de mim tal coisa, porque eu honrarei aos que me honram, e os que me desprezam serão rejeitados.
