Chapter 2

KJV - 1 Samuel 2:30

Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

Because the Lord God of Israel says, I truly said your family and your father's family should always lead for me. But now, the Lord says, I don't want that; those who respect me will receive my respect, while those who disrespect me won't matter much.
