1 SAMUEL 2:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.”
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the LORD—*benei beliya'al* (sons of worthlessness) describes Hophni and Phinehas; their ignorance of the LORD (*lo yad'u et-YHWH*) is not intellectual but relational and moral—they lack covenantal knowledge and fear of God.
