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

And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli,.... Either had done this before, which was signified to him by the man of God, or did swear now for the confirmation of his threatenings, and to assure the certain performance of them:

that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever: not even typically, which was all that legal sacrifice could do; and not so that the priesthood should ever return to the family again, as the office of high priesthood never did; or, as Abarbinel interprets it, because of sacrifice and offering, that the iniquity Eli's sons were guilty of in taking the flesh of the sacrifices and offerings, which did not belong to them, and before the Lord had his part, should never be expiated.

(There are some sins that are not covered in the atonement of Jesus Christ. This is one of them and the sin against the Holy Ghost is another.

Matthew 12:31. Editor.)

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the marginal references. The sin of the sons of Eli could not be purged by the appointed sacrifices of the Law. In blessed contrast with this declaration is the assurance of the New Testament 1 John 1:7; Acts 13:39.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 3:14. Shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering — That is, God was determined that they should be removed by a violent death. They had committed the sin unto death; and no offering or sacrifice could prevent this. What is spoken here relates to their temporal death only.
