""'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
This shall be a sign unto thee,.... A confirming one, that all which had been now said would be fulfilled: that shall come upon thy two sons, Hophni and Phinehas;
which Eli would live to see fulfilled on them; and when it was, he might be assured the rest would be most certainly accomplished, and it was this: in one day they shall die both of them; as they did in battle with the Philistines, Sa1 4:11 .
