Contextual Overview

¹¹ Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy continued to serve the Lord under Eli the priest. ¹² Now Eli's sons were evil men; they did not care about the Lord . ¹³ This is what the priests would normally do to the people: Every time someone brought a sacrifice, the meat would be cooked in a pot. The priest's servant would then come carrying a fork that had three prongs. ¹⁴ He would plunge the fork into the pot or the kettle. Whatever the fork brought out of the pot belonged to the priest. But this is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh to offer sacrifices. ¹⁵ Even before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come to the person offering sacrifices and say, "Give the priest some meat to roast. He won't accept boiled meat from you, only raw meat." ¹⁶ If the one who offered the sacrifice said, "Let the fat be burned up first as usual, and then take anything you want," the priest's servant would answer, "No, give me the meat now. If you don't, I'll take it by force." ¹⁷ The Lord saw that the sin of the servants was very great because they did not show respect for the offerings made to the Lord . ¹⁸ But Samuel obeyed the Lord . As a boy he wore a linen holy vest. ¹⁹ Every year Samuel's mother made a little coat for him and took it to him when she went with her husband to Shiloh for the sacrifice. ²⁰ When Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, he would say, "May the Lord repay you with children through Hannah to take the place of the boy Hannah prayed for and gave back to the Lord ." Then Elkanah and Hannah would go home.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Also before they burnt the fat,.... Which belonged to the Lord, and was to be offered to him by fire, in the first place, as it ought to be; and the order of sacrificing required that he should have his part first before the priest or the owner: but so impious were the priests become, that

the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed; not to the priest that offered, but to the man that brought his sacrifice to be offered by the priest:

give flesh to roast for the priest; meaning, not what was his by law, as the breast and shoulder, though for these he ought to have stayed until the fat was offered to the Lord; but other parts of the peace offering, which he had no right unto, for roasting or boiling, and yet in an imperious manner demanded it by his servant:

for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw though this was not the only reason of this demand, because they liked roast meat better than boiled; but because the three forked flesh hook did not always bring up the best pieces out of the boiling pot; and therefore he resolved to have flesh raw, that he might have the best, as well as dress it to his own liking.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 2:15. Before they burnt the fat — They would serve themselves before GOD was served! This was iniquity and arrogance of the first magnitude.

He will not have sodden flesh — He chooses roast meat, not boiled; and if they had it in the pot before the servant came, he took it out that it might be roasted.
