1 Samuel 3:12

12 Llevaré a cabo todas mis amenazas contra Elí y su familia, de principio a fin.

1 Samuel 3:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 3:12

In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have
spoken concerning his house
Or family, that is, by the man of God, ( 1 Samuel 2:27 ) as that he would cut off the strength of it, that there should not be an old man in it; and such as remained should be reduced to the utmost poverty and meanness; this shows that that prophecy was antecedent to this, contrary to the sense of some:

when I begin, I will also make an end;
not immediately, and at once, but by degrees; he began in the death of Hophni and Phinehas, and went on in the slaughter of Abimelech, and the eighty five priests at Nob, in the times of Saul, and finished in the thrusting out of Abiathar from the priesthood, in the times of Solomon, whereby that family was brought to disgrace and poverty.

1 Samuel 3:12 In-Context

10 Y el Señor
vino y llamó igual que antes:
—¡Samuel! ¡Samuel!
Y Samuel respondió:
—Habla, que tu siervo escucha.

11 Entonces el Señor
le dijo a Samuel:
—Estoy por hacer algo espantoso en Israel.

12 Llevaré a cabo todas mis amenazas contra Elí y su familia, de principio a fin.

13 Le advertí que viene juicio sobre su familia para siempre, porque sus hijos blasfeman a Dios
y él no los ha disciplinado.

14 Por eso juré que los pecados de Elí y los de sus hijos jamás serán perdonados ni por medio de sacrificios ni ofrendas.
