1 Samuel 2:12

10The Lord will weaken his adversary; The Lord is holy. Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty man boast in his strength, And let not the rich man boast in his wealth; But let him that boasts boast in this, To understand and know the Lord, And to execute judgment and justice in the midst of the earth.

And she left him there before the Lord,
11and departed to Ramah: and the child ministered in the presence of the Lord before Eli the priest.

14And he struck it into the great caldron, or into the brazen vessel, or into the pot, and whatever came up with the fleshhook, the priest took for himself: so they did to all Israel that came to sacrifice to the Lord in Shiloh.
