What Eli did with his sons and the fact that he warned them but he didn't take action. And I think one of the things that Eli did wrong is in the foundation. It says that his sons, they knew not the Lord. And so why were they in a priestly office? They should have never been placed in that office in the first place.
And I think maybe nepotism, you know, He put them in and they shouldn't have been in that office. He should have had the discernment to not put them in that office. Now they're older sons and yes, he can correct them. He can give advice, but they're under their own jurisdiction. He's got a jurisdiction as far as in the office and he should have removed them as a priest.
He should have removed them and taken them out of that office. And as a father, offered advice to say, sons, you need to stop doing this. He should have continually been pointing them to Jehovah.
