Eli's sons profane the priesthood and are condemned
Hophni and Phinehas treated the LORD's offerings with contempt and sinned against those serving at the sanctuary. A man of God announced judgment on Eli's house, while Samuel continued growing in favor with God and people (1 Samuel 2:12-36).

📖 1 Samuel 2:12–14
12Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD 13or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling 14and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
