Punishment to Eli's house

And the Lord came and stood, calling as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!"

And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant hears."

-> Then the Lord said to Samuel, "Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which the two ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.

On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.

And I declare to him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, and he did not restrain them.

Therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever."

1 Samuel 3:10‭-‬14

Lesson learnt:

It is the parents responsibility to instruct children to fear god. Here it is clear mentioned Eli knew that their sons were blaspheming but he did not restrain them and in the end God's anger came upon them.

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.  Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Proverbs 23:13‭-‬14
