1 Samuel 2:28

And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

Ver. 28. And did I choose him? &c., ] q.d., Do ye thus requite the Lord, O ye foolish folk and unwise Qui exprobrat reposcit: God doth not upbraid any, but only in case of abuse of his benefits, which he accounts a very great indignity. Beneficium postulat officium.

All the offerings made by fire.] A very liberal and an honourable maintenance. Lev 6:17 Deu 18:1
