Contextual Overview
27 A man of God came to ‘Eli and told him, "Here is what Adonai says: ‘Didn't I reveal myself to your ancestor's clan when they were in Egypt, serving as slaves in Pharaoh's household? 28 Didn't I choose him out of all the tribes of Isra'el to be my cohen, go up to my altar, burn incense and wear a ritual vest in my presence? Didn't I assign to your ancestor's clan all the offerings of the people of Isra'el made by fire? 29 So why are you showing such disrespect for my sacrifices and offerings, which I ordered to be made at my dwelling? Why do you show more honor to your sons than to me, making yourselves fat with the choicest parts of all the offerings of Isra'el my people?' 30 "Therefore Adonai the God of Isra'el says, ‘I did indeed say that your family and your father's family would walk in my presence forever.' But now Adonai says, ‘Forget it! I respect those who respect me, but those who despise me will meet with contempt. 31 The day is coming when I will break your strength and the strength of your father's family, so that no one in your family will live to old age. 32 At a time when Isra'el is prospering, you will see a rival in my Dwelling; and never will anyone in your family live to old age. 33 Still, I won't cut off every one of your men from my altar; because that would make your eyes grow dim, and you would waste away. Nevertheless, all your descendants will die young. 34 Your sign that this will occur will be what happens to your two sons Hofni and Pinchas — they will both die on the same day. 35 I will raise up for myself a faithful cohen who will do what I want and what I intend. I will make his family faithful, and he will serve in the presence of my anointed one forever. 36 Everyone left in your family will come, prostrate himself before him for a silver coin or a loaf of bread, and say, "Please, won't you give me some work as a cohen, so I can have a scrap of bread to eat?"'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
This shall be a sign unto thee,.... A confirming one, that all which had been now said would be fulfilled:
that shall come upon thy two sons, Hophni and Phinehas; which Eli would live to see fulfilled on them; and when it was, he might be assured the rest would be most certainly accomplished, and it was this:
in one day they shall die both of them; as they did in battle with the Philistines, 1 Samuel 4:11.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 2:34. They shall die both of them. — Hophni and Phinehas were both killed very shortly after in the great battle with the Philistines in which the Israelites were completely routed, and the ark taken. See 1 Samuel 4:1-11.
