1 Samuel 2:12 - The Message

Eli’s own sons were a bad lot. They didn’t know God and could not have cared less about the customs of priests among the people. Ordinarily, when someone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant was supposed to come up and, while the meat was boiling, stab a three-pronged fork into the cooking pot. The priest then got whatever came up on the fork. But this is how Eli’s sons treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh to offer sacrifices to God. Before they had even burned the fat to God, the priest’s servant would interrupt whoever was sacrificing and say, "Hand over some of that meat for the priest to roast. He doesn’t like boiled meat; he likes his rare." If the man objected, "First let the fat be burned—God’s portion!—then take all you want," the servant would demand, "No, I want it now. If you won’t give it, I’ll take it." It was a horrible sin these young servants were committing—and right in the presence of God!—desecrating the holy offerings to God.
