SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:29
¿Por qué habéis hollado mis sacrificios y mis presentes, que yo mandé ofrecer en el tabernáculo; y has honrado a tus hijos más que a mí, engordándoos de lo principal de todas las ofrendas de mi pueblo Israel?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:29
Verse 29. Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice] They disdained to take the part allowed by law; and would take for themselves what part they pleased, and as much as they pleased, ver. 13-16: thus they kicked at the sacrifices. Honourest thy sons above me] Permitting them to deal, as above, with the offerings and sacrifices, and take their part before the fat, &c., was burnt unto the Lord: thus they were first served. At this Eli connived, and thus honoured his sons above God.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice, and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation , etc.] To be offered in the tabernacle, where the Lord had his dwelling; which they might be said to kick and spurn at, despising them, as if there were not enough of them, nor the best of them given to them for their maintenance; a metaphor taken from cattle well fed and fat, which kick and spurn with their feet at even the owners and feeders of them. The Targum is, “why do ye use force with the holy offerings?” that is, take them away by force, when there was such a sufficient quantity allowed them for their support. Some understand this of their driving away such, that before used to bring their sacrifices to be offered, but being so ill treated, refrained from bringing them: and honourest thy sons above me ; by suffering them to take their part of the sacrifices, and even what did not belong to them, before God had his part, or before the fat was burnt; and by continuing them in their office, to the dishonour of God, his name and worship, when they ought to have been turned out by him and punished; but by this he preferred the honour of his sons before the honour of God, and chose rather that he should be dishonoured, than that they should be censured: to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people ? they took the best pieces of the peace offerings from them by force, having no right unto them; and this they did to indulge their luxury and sensuality, which Eli connived at; and it is highly probable took part of the roasted meat his sons provided for themselves, out of the choicest pieces of the offerings of the people; since he himself is included in this clause, “to make yourselves fat”, as his sons might be, and it is certain he himself was, ( 1 Samuel 4:18).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-36 - Those who allow their children in any evil way, and do not use their authority to restrain and punish them, in effect honour them more tha God. Let Eli's example excite parents earnestly to strive against the beginnings of wickedness, and to train up their children in the nurtur and admonition of the Lord. In the midst of the sentence against the house of Eli, mercy is promised to Israel. God's work shall never fal to the ground for want of hands to carry it on. Christ is that mercifu and faithful High Priest, whom God raised up when the Levitica priesthood was thrown off, who in all things did his Father's mind, and for whom God will build a sure house, build it on a rock, so that hel cannot prevail against it __________________________________________________________________
