New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Samuel 2
31 Behold, the days are coming when I will break your strength and the strength of your father’s house so that there will not be an old man in your house.
32 You will see the distress of My dwelling, in spite of all the good that I do for Israel; and an old man will not be in your house forever.
33 Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altar so that your eyes will fail from weeping and your soul grieve, and all the increase of your house will die in the prime of life.
34 This will be the sign to you which will come concerning your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: on the same day both of them will die.
35 But I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who will do according to what is in My heart and in My soul; and I will build him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed always.
36 Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread and say, "Please assign me to one of the priest’s offices so that I may eat a piece of bread."’"
1 Samuel 3
1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord before Eli. And word from the Lord was rare in those days, visions were infrequent.
2 It happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well),
3 and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord where the ark of God was,
4 that the Lord called Samuel; and he said, "Here I am."
5 Then he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, lie down again." So he went and lay down.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
