1Sa 2:27-35. A prophecy against Eli’s house.

there came a man of God unto Eli, and said ... that there shall not be an old man in thine house - So much importance has always, in the East, been attached to old age, that it would be felt to be a great calamity, and sensibly to lower the respectability of any family which could boast of few or no old men. The prediction of this prophet was fully confirmed by the afflictions, degradation, poverty, and many untimely deaths with which the house of Eli was visited after its announcement (see 1Sa 4:11; 1Sa 14:3; 1Sa 22:18-23; 1Ki 2:27).
