On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Note, Those young people that serve God as well as they can will obtain grace to improve, that they may serve him better. Those that are planted in God's house shall flourish, Ps. xcii. He was in favour with the Lord and with man.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The message is sent to Eli himself, because God would bring him to repentance and save him; not to his sons, whom he had determined to destroy. And it might have been a means of awakening him to do his duty at last, and so to have prevented the judgment, but we do not find it had any great effect upon him. The message this prophet delivers from God is very close.
