1 Samuel 2:23

He said, &c. — Eli's sin was not only that he reproved them too gently, but that he contented himself with a verbal rebuke, and did not restrain them, and inflict those punishments upon them which such high crimes deserved by God's law, and which he as judge and high — priest ought to have done, without respect of persons.
