1 Samuel—Looking for a Leader Old Eli Was Ignored (v. 25b–c)

Eli does not seem to have been a wicked man, but in his old age he was not able to provide the leadership that Israel needed. His words to his sons expressed his sorrow and distress at their behavior, but he did not have the strength to curb their conduct. Shiloh suffered from the corruption of Eli’s sons and the ineptitude of their old father.
