1 Samuel 2:15

11Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served the LORD before Eli the priest.

12Now the sons of Eli were wicked men. They didn’t know the LORD.

13The custom of the priests with the people was that when anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the meat was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;

14and he stabbed it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. The priest took all that the fork brought up for himself. They did this to all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh.

15Yes, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw.”

16If the man said to him, “Let the fat be burned first, and then take as much as your soul desires;” then he would say, “No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force.”

17The sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for the men despised the LORD’s offering.

18But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.

19Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
