And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

Verse 36 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.
