Context — A Prophecy against the House of Eli
29Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’
30Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.
31Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no one in it will reach old age.
32You will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age. 33And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar, I will cause your eyes to fail and your heart to grieve. All your descendants will die by the sword of men.Cross References

| 1 | 1 Samuel 22:17–20 | Then the king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD. So the king ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests himself. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod. He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, with its men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep. But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped.

When he arrived, there was Eli, sitting on his chair beside the road and watching, because his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man entered the city to give a report, the whole city cried out. Eli heard the outcry and asked, “Why this commotion?” So the man hurried over and reported to Eli. Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his gaze was fixed because he could not see. “I have just come from the battle,” the man said to Eli. “I fled from there today.” “What happened, my son?” Eli asked. The messenger answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are both dead, and the ark of God has been captured.” As soon as the ark of God was mentioned, Eli fell backward from his chair by the city gate, and being old and heavy, he broke his neck and died. And Eli had judged Israel forty years. Now Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news of the capture of God’s ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she collapsed and gave birth, for her labor pains overtook her. As she was dying, the women attending to her said, “Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son!” But she did not respond or pay any heed. |

1 Samuel 2:31 Summary
[In 1 Samuel 2:31, God says that He will cut off the strength of Eli's family because they have disobeyed Him and not honored His offerings. This means that God will remove their power and influence, similar to what is described in Deuteronomy 28:20. As a result, no older man will be left in Eli's house, a consequence of God's judgment. This teaches us the importance of honoring God and following His commandments, as seen in Proverbs 3:9-10 and John 12:26, to avoid such consequences.]

Is this verse related to the concept of generational sin?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 2:31
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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:31
I will cut off thine arm, i.e. I will take away thy strength, which is oft signified by the arm, as , or all that in which thou placest thy confidence and security; either, 1. The ark, which is called God’ s strength, , and was Eli’ s strength, who therefore was not able to beat the very tidings of the loss of it, . Or, 2. His priestly dignity or employment, whence he had all his honour and substance. Or rather, 3. His children, to whom the words following here, and in the succeeding verses, seem to confine it, who are the strength of parents: see ,5. The arm of thy father’ s house, i.e. thy children’ s children, and all thy family; which was in great measure accomplished, , &c. There shall not be an old man in thine house; they shall generally be cut off by an untimely death before they be old.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:31
1 Samuel 2:31 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.Ver. 31. I will cut off thine arm,] e.g., The ability and dignity of thy family. See Zechariah 11:17. There shall not be an old man in thine house,] Because, being an old man, thou hast no better quitted thyself in thy place and station, This was not executed for many years after, that it might be considered, and course taken to prevent it. God therefore threateneth, that he may not be put to punish.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:31
(31) I will cut off thine arm.—“The arm” signifies power and strength: “Thy power and strength, and that of thy house is doomed.” (See for the figure Job 22:9; Psalms 37:17.) And there shall not be an old man in thine house.—No one more in thy house, O High Priest, who hast so signally failed in thy solemn duty, shall attain to old age; sickness or the sword shall ever early consume its members. This strange denunciation of the “man of God” is emphasised by being repeated in the next (32) verse, and in different words again in 1 Samuel 2:33.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:31
Verse 31. I will cut off thine arm] I will destroy the strength, power, and influence of thy family.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Samuel 2:31
31. I will cut off thine arm] = I will destroy thy strength. “The arm” is a common expression for “might,” “strength.” Cp. Psalms 10:15; Zechariah 11:17. One signal fulfilment of this doom was the massacre of the priests at Nob (1 Samuel 22:18-19).
Barnes' Notes on 1 Samuel 2:31
I will cut off thine arm ... - A strong phrase for breaking down the strength and power, of which the arm is the instrument in man (compare Zechariah 11:17). See 1 Samuel 2:33.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:31
31. Cut off thine arm — To cut off one’s arm is to deprive him of strength and render him helpless. Thus was Eli’s house disabled. Compare Job 22:9; Psalms 37:17; Zechariah 11:17.
