When any man was offering a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/2-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. Thus they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/2-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Also, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest meat for roasting, as he will not take boiled meat from you, only raw.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/2-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And if the man said to him, “They must surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as you desire,” then he would say, “No, but you shall give <i>it to me</i> now; and if not, I will take it by force.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/2-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Thus the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for the men despised the offering of the LORD. <p><b><i>Samuel before the LORDas a Boy</i></b><p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/2-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD, <i>as</i> a boy wearing a linen ephod. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/2-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year when she would come up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/2-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May the LORD give you children from this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” And they went to their own home. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/2-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>And the LORD visited Hannah; and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters.
