1. From the Messenger of God! 1 Sam. 2.27. to the end. Because he had now doted in his old age, there should not be an old man left of his house for ever; because it vexed him not enough, to see his Sons Enemies to God, he shall see his own Enemies in the habitation of the Lord, ver. 32. Because himself forbore to take vengeance of his Sons, and esteemed their lives above the Glory of his God, and Master; therefore God himself will take the Sword into his own hand, and kill them both in one day. ver. 34. & chap. 4.11. Because he abused his Authority, and connived at Sin, and honoured his Sons before God, therefore his house shall be stripped of his honour, and it should be translated to another. ver. 30.32.35. Because he suffered his Sons to please their wanton appetites, in taking meat from off Gods Trencher, therefore those, which remain of his house, shall come to his Successors, and beg a piece of Silver to buy a morsel of Bread. ver. 36.

Because he was fond, and partial to his Sons, God will execute all this, and more, on him and them, severely, and impartially.
