Although Hophni and Phinehas committed the grievous offence of desecrating the sacred character of the Lord’s worship and sacrifice, Eli their father was not spared in the divine judgment that came on the family because he failed to correct them. Parents and leaders in the house of God must recognise their responsibility to train their children in the way of the Lord, “And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live…” (Deuteronomy 31:12,13). Eli failed in this duty and brought judgment on his house. The men of Israel werealso indifferent, though the sins of the priesthood were common knowledge (1 Samuel 2:17,27-36; 3:11-18). Consequently, they suffered a great defeat in the hands of the Philistines because they failed to reconcilewith God first before going into the battle. We need to be careful so as not to be guilty of the same mistake. Sincere repentance and restitution are necessary to secure God’s awesome presence that guarantees victoryin all battles of life
