Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
