God told Samuel of Eli, "For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves and he did not rebuke them" (1 Samuel 3:13). Of course, even if he did rebuke them, they could still choose to rebel against the Lord. But it appears that Eli did not do all that he could to restrain them.

I have always felt bad for Eli and wondered how much of his sons' worthlessness was chargeable to him. Good one, Andy!
