1 Samuel 2:12-14

New American Standard Bible

The Sin of Eli’s Sons

¹² Now the sons of Eli were ^[a](A)useless men; they did not know the Lord. ^13 (B)And this was the custom of the priests with the people: when anyone was offering a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come while the meat was cooking, with a three-pronged fork in his hand. ¹⁴ And he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; everything that the fork brought up, the priest would take for himself. They did so in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
