1 Samuel 2:17; 1 Samuel 2:29; 1 Samuel 3:14; 1 Samuel 10:27; 1 Samuel 26:19

17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.

19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
