14 Kungenxa yoko le nto ndiyifungeleyo indlu kaEli ukuba isiphoso sendlu kaEli asiyi kusindiswa ngumbingelelo okanye ngumnikelo ekohlwayweni ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo.”+

11 Kwanetyeya kaThixo yathinjwa,+ yaye bafa noonyana ababini bakaEli, uHofeni noFinehasi.+

18 Kwathi ke ngomzuzu wokukhankanya kwakhe ityeya kaTHIXO oyinyaniso, waqala ukuwela ngasemva esihlalweni ecaleni kwesango, nentamo yakhe yaphuka waza wafa, ngenxa yokuba indoda le yayindala kwaye inzima; yona ke yayingumgwebi wakwaSirayeli iminyaka engamashumi amane.

3 (UAhiya unyana ka-Ahitubhi,+ umntakwabo Ikabhode,+ unyana kaFinehasi,+ unyana kaEli,+ umbingeleli kaYehova waseShilo,+ wayethwele iefodi.)+ Abantu bona babengazi ukuba uYonatan uhambile.

18 Ekugqibeleni ukumkani wathi kuDowegi:+ “Jika wena uze uhlasele aba bingeleli!” Ngoko nangoko uDowegi umEdom+ wajika waza wabahlasela ngokwakhe ababingeleli wabulala+ ngaloo mini amadoda angamashumi asibhozo anesihlanu athwala iefodi+ yelinen.

27 Ngoko uSolomon wamgxotha uAbhiyatare ekukhonzeni njengombingeleli kaYehova, ukuzalisekisa ilizwi likaYehova awayelithethe nxamnye nendlu kaEli+ eShilo.+

3 UDavide, noTsadoki+ koonyana bakaEleyazare, noAhimeleki+ koonyana bakaItamare benza izahlulo ngokwezigxina zabo enkonzweni yabo.+
