24 No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear. Ye make LORD's people to transgress.

25 If one man sins against another, God shall judge him, but if a man sins against LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they did not hearken to the voice of their father, because LORD intended to kill them.

26 And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with LORD, and also with men.
