1 SAMUEL 2:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.”
The only one of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared to weep out his eyes and grieve his heart; all the increase of your house shall die by the sword of men—one survivor will live to see the destruction of his lineage, a fate worse than death. The *cherev adam* (sword of men) suggests violent death, perhaps in the priestly line's future conflicts.
