And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

Verse 35 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Samuel. A man of God announces to Eli that his priestly house will be judged because he has honored his sons above the Lord. The sentence does not eliminate the value of the priesthood as an institution, but establishes that ministerial privilege is subordinate to faithfulness. The announcement of a faithful priest whose house will be established introduces an expectation that extends beyond Eli’s family. The passage connects leadership, honor due to God, and moral responsibility, themes that will repeatedly reappear in the stories of Saul and David.
