Verse 17 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 problem is not merely administrative misconduct, but corruption of worship: those who should represent God’s holiness despise the regulations governing sacrifice. 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.
