1 Samuel (1 Kingdoms) 3:13

Q: 1 Samuel 3:13—Did Eli correct his sons or not?

**1 Samuel 3:13—Did Eli correct his sons or not?** **Problem:** This text informs us that Eli’s sons “made themselves vile, and he did not restrain them.” However, in the previous chapter, Eli rebuked his sons for their evil deeds (2:23–24). **Solution:** Eli may have reproved his sons too leniently or not soon enough. At any rate, they became so hardened that his attempt here was futile. Whatever efforts he made at discipline here were not effective.
