Contextual Overview

¹¹ The Lord said to Samuel, "Watch, I am going to do something in Israel that will shock those who hear about it. ¹² At that time I will do to Eli and his family everything I promised, from beginning to end. ¹³ I told Eli I would punish his family always, because he knew his sons were evil. They acted without honor, but he did not stop them. ¹⁴ So I swore to Eli's family, ‘Your guilt will never be removed by sacrifice or offering.'" ¹⁵ Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the house of the Lord . He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision, ¹⁶ but Eli called to him, "Samuel, my son!" Samuel answered, "I am here." ¹⁷ Eli asked, "What did the Lord say to you? Don't hide it from me. May God punish you terribly if you hide from me anything he said to you." ¹⁸ So Samuel told Eli everything and did not hide anything from him. Then Eli said, "He is the Lord . Let him do what he thinks is best."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever,.... That is, bring his judgments upon them, which should continue on them to their utter destruction; this, as to the substance, he said before by the man of God:

for the iniquity which he knoweth; for the iniquity of his sons, which he thoroughly informed of, and fully acquainted with by others; and somewhat of which he must have been sensible of, and seen with his own eyes, and therefore was inexcusable:

because his sons made themselves vile; mean and contemptible in the sight of men, abhorred and accursed in the sight of God, by taking the flesh of the sacrifices of the people, which did not belong to them, who came to sacrifice, and by debauching the women that came to the door of the tabernacle for religious service. It is said this clause was originally written, "because his sons made light of me"; or cursed the Lord, and is one of the eighteen places called the correction of the Scribes, who corrected it as we have it; and it may be observed, the Septuagint version is, "because his sons spake ill of God"; or cursed him; however, this they did, they preferred their lusts, and the indulging of them, to the honour and glory of God: this Eli knew,

and he restrained them not; from their evil practices; he did not make use of his authority, neither as a father, and especially not as high priest, and the judge of Israel, who ought not only to have sharply reproved them, which he did not, but to have censured or punished them, and turned them out of their office: "or did not frown upon them" t, as in the margin of our Bibles; he did not knit his brows, or wrinkle up his face, and by his countenance show his displeasure at their proceedings, but in an easy, smooth, gentle manner, expostulated with them about them.

t ולא כחה בהם "et non contraxit frontem", Osiander; "non contraxit rugas", Belg. De Dieu.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Made themselves vile - Rather, “have cursed themselves,” i. e. brought curses upon themselves.

He restrained them not - In the sense of punishing. He did not remove them from their office, which he ought to have done.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 3:13. I will judge his house for ever — I will continue to execute judgments upon it till it is destroyed.

His sons made themselves vile — See 1 Samuel 2:12-17; 1 Samuel 2:22-25.

He restrained them not. — He did not use his parental and juridical authority to curb them, and prevent the disorders which they committed. See at the conclusion of the chapter (1 Samuel 3:21 [note]).
