A prophecy against Eli's house You will see distress The Hebrew word for "distress" is "צר" (tsar), which conveys a sense of adversity, affliction, or trouble. In the context of 1 Samuel, this distress is a prophetic warning to Eli, the high priest, about the impending judgment on his household due to the sins of his sons. This phrase serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of faithfulness to God's commands. It underscores the reality that even those in positions of spiritual leadership are not immune to divine discipline. in My dwelling despite all that is good in Israel and no one in your house will ever again reach old age In all the wealth which God shall give Israel.--"The affliction of God's house from the loss of the ark remained while under the lead of Samuel there came blessing to the people."--Erdmann. There is another explanation which refers the fulfilment of this part of the prophecy to the period of Solomon's reign, when Abiathar, of the house of Eli, was deposed from the High Priestly dignity to make room for Zadok, but the reference to the capture of the ark is by far more probable. Verse 32. - Thou shalt see an enemy. The translation of ver. 32 is very difficult, but is probably as follows: "And thou shalt behold, i.e. see with wonder and astonishment, narrowness of habitation in all the wealth which shall be given unto Israel." The word translated narrowness often means an "enemy," but as that for habitation is the most general term in the Hebrews language for a dwelling, being used even of the dens of wild beasts (Jeremiah 9:10; Nahum 2:12), the rendering an "enemy of dwelling" gives no sense. Hence the violent insertion of the pronoun my, for which no valid excuse can be given. But narrowness of dwelling, means distress, especially in a man's domestic relations, and this is the sense required. In the growing public and national prosperity which was to be Israel's lot under Samuel, Saul, David, and Solomon, Eli was to see, not in person, but prophetically, calamity attaching itself to his own family. His house was to decay in the midst of the progress of all the rest. Upon this denunciation of private distress naturally follows the repetition of the threat that the house of Ithamar should be left without an old man to guide its course onward to renewed prosperity.Parallel Commentaries ...
