  1. 11And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto Jehovah before Eli the priest.
  2. 12Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not Jehovah.
  3. 13And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand;
