1 Samuel 2:34-36
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
34 This is a sign for you—what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. Both of them will die on the same day.(A) 35 I will choose a faithful priest who shall do what I have in heart and mind. I will establish a lasting house for him and he shall serve in the presence of my anointed forever. 36 Then whoever is left of your family will grovel before him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread, saying: Please assign me a priestly function, that I may have a crust of bread to eat.”(B)

New International Version
34 “‘And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign(A) to you—they will both die(B) on the same day.(C) 35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest,(D) who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed(E) one always. 36 Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread and plead,(F) “Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat.(G)”’”
