10. They that strive with the Lord shall be broken to pieces; against them shall he thunder in heaven: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11. And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
12. Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.
13. And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
14. and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
15. Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
16. And if the man said unto him, They will surely burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would say, Nay, but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17. And the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
