Verse 13 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Samuel. Eli’s sons are described through a deliberate contrast with Samuel. While Samuel will be devoted to the Lord’s service, Hophni and Phinehas use their priestly position to wrongfully take the offerings.

The description of their conduct as a serious sin establishes early that Eli’s priestly household is under judgment and that religious office does not automatically guarantee faithfulness.
