11 Ibhokisi likaNkulunkulu lathunjwa futhi amadodana amabili ka-Eli, uHofini loFiniyasi afa.+

18 U-Eli uthe esizwa ngebhokisi likaNkulunkulu weqiniso wawa ngesiphundu esitulweni sakhe eceleni kwegedi. Intamo yakhe yephuka wahle wafa ngoba wayesemdala futhi elomzimba omkhulu. U-Eli wahlulela abantu bako-Israyeli okweminyaka engu-40.

18 Inkosi yasisithi kuDowegi:+ “Tshibilika ubulale abaphristi!” UDowegi um-Edomi+ wahle wasuka wayahlasela abaphristi. Ngalelolanga wabulala amadoda angu-85 agqoka i-efodi yelineni.+

27 Ngakho uSolomoni wamxotsha u-Abhiyatha emsebenzini wokuba ngumphristi kaJehova futhi lokho kwagcwalisa amazwi kaJehova awakhuluma mayelana labendlu ka-Eli+ eShilo.+
