highlighted 1 Samuel 2:22-25 ESV
Now Eli was very old, and he kept hearing all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who were serving at the entrance to the tent of meeting.And he said to them, "Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people.No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear the people of the Lord spreading abroad.If someone sins against a man, God will mediate for him, but if someone sins against the Lord, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for it was the will of the Lord to put them to death.

Moreover, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give meat for the priest to roast, for he will not accept boiled meat from you but only raw."And if the man said to him, "Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish," he would say, "No, you must give it now, and if not, I will take it by force."Thus the sin of the young men was very great in the sight of the Lord, for the men treated the offering of the Lord with contempt.

highlighted 1 Samuel 2:5-8 ESV
Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn. The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts. He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and on them he has set the world.

Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.And Eli said to her, "How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you."But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord.Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation."Then Eli answered, "Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him."And she said, "Let your servant find favor in your eyes." Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose.
