John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 2:29

Kick ye — Using them irreverently, and profanely; both by abusing them to your own luxury, and by causing the people to abhor them. He chargeth Eli with his sons faults. Honourest thy sons — Permitting them to dishonour and injure me, by taking my part to themselves; chusing rather to offend me by thy connivance at their sin, than to displease them by severe rebukes, and just punishments. Fat — To pamper yourselves. This you did not out of necessity, but out of mere luxury. Chiefest — Not contented with those parts which I had allotted you, you invaded those choice parts which I reserved for myself.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(t) Why have you contemned my sacrifices, and as it were trod them under foot?
