1 Samuel 2:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ He would plunge the fork into the pot or the kettle. Whatever the fork brought out of the pot belonged to the priest. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh to offer sacrifices. ¹⁵ But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come to the person offering sacrifices. The servant would say, “Give the priest some meat to roast. The priest won’t accept boiled meat from you. He will only accept raw meat.”

¹⁶ But the man who offered the sacrifice might say, “Let the fat be burned up first as usual. Then you may take anything you want.”

If so, the priest’s servant would answer, “No, give me the meat now. If you don’t, I’ll take it by force.”
