These verses describe Hophni and Phinehas, the sons of Eli the priest, serving at the tabernacle in Shiloh. Instead of following the law of Moses, which reserved the breast and thigh for the priests after the fat was burned, they sent a servant with a fork to seize whatever meat they wanted, even raw, and took it by force if refused.
