‏ 1 Samuel 2:27

Verse 27. There came a man of God] Who this was we know not, but the Chaldee terms him nebiya daya, a prophet of Jehovah.

Unto the house of thy father] That is, to Aaron; he was the first high priest; the priesthood descended from him to his eldest son Eleazar, then to Phinehas. It became afterwards established in the younger branch of the family of Aaron; for Eli was a descendant of Ithamar, Aaron's youngest son. From Eli it was transferred back again to the family of Eleazar, because of the profligacy of Eli's sons.
