1 SAMUEL 2:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.”
And he said to them: Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people—Eli's remonstration (*vayomer lahem*) is belated and ineffectual. His hearing of their deeds (*shama'ti et-debareyhem*, I heard of their words) comes through rumor, suggesting his distance from priestly governance.
