1Sa 2:30 “Therefore the LORD God of Israel says: ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever’; but now the LORD says: ‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
God had judged Eli’s house unfit to serve as priests among the Aaron’s sons. Eli’s sons were corrupt, made their own rules for sacrifice presumably to secure more for themselves. The warning that fat must be burnt first went unheeded and they also lay with women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle.
Although Eli tried to warn his sons, they did not change. By so doing, they continued dishonoring the Lord until he rejected them. God , by his grace did not destroy the house of Eli immediately but he drastically reduced it’s strength.
God has promised to honor every man or woman who will honor him. Those who honor him are of great worth before his sight. He will always have a high regard for them. Those who despise him shall be lightly esteemed.
