1 Samuel 2:33-36 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

33. I will save one man to serve as priest at my altar. He will wear out his eyes and use up his strength. The rest of your descendants will die by the sword.

34. “‘I will give you a sign. Both your sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will die on the same day.

35. I will choose a loyal priest for myself. He will listen to me and do what I want. I will make his family strong. He will always serve before my appointed king.

36. Then everyone left in your family will come and bow down before him. They will beg for a little money or a little food. They will say, “Please give me a job as priest so I can have food to eat.”’”
