Well, folks, we've got a real nail-biter for you in 1 Samuel 2. It's a wild ride for the priest Eli and his two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. Eli's sons are up to no good, stealing from the offering plate and sleeping with the women who serve at the entrance to the Tabernacle. Meanwhile, God's making a promise to a mysterious woman—He's gonna give her a baby boy who will become a priest just like Eli. Eli confronts his sons about their misdeeds, but they don't listen, so God steps in and sends a message: Eli's family is going to be replaced by this mysterious woman's son, and Eli's gonna die soon. Oh, and the mysterious woman? She's pregnant with Samuel, who's gonna become the first of the great prophets. Talk about a cliffhanger!
