Eli's Failed Rebuke and Samuel's Growth

1 Samuel 2:22-26

Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.

And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.

Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make Jehovah’s people to transgress.

If one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because Jehovah was minded to slay them.

And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
