וַיַּגֶּד־ל֤וֹ שְׁמוּאֵל֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֔ים וְלֹ֥א כִחֵ֖ד מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וַיֹּאמַ֕ר יְהוָ֣ה ה֔וּא הַטּ֥וֹב בְּעֵינָ֖ו יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ (פ)
Lalu Samuel memberitahukan kepadanya segala perkataan itu dan tidak menyembunyikan apa pun darinya. Kemudian Eli berkata: “Dialah Yang Mahakekal; biarlah Ia berbuat apa yang baik di mata-Nya.”

Rebbi Abahu says, The curse of a sage, even on an [unfulfilled] condition will be fulfilled. From where [is this derived]? From Eli. That Eli said to Shmuel (Samuel 1 3, 17) "So will God do to you and so will he add on if you withhold from me anything". And even though it is written (Samuel 1 3, 18) "And Shmuel related to him all of the matter and did not withhold from him", it is still written (Samuel 1 8, 3) " And his sons did not follow in his ways etc.".
