1 Samuel 2:31
Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no older man will be left in your house.
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there will not be an old man in your house.
Note “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
