SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:14
y hería con él en la caldera, o en la olla, o en el caldero, o en el pote; y todo lo que sacaba el garfio, el sacerdote lo tomaba para sí. De esta manera hacían a todo israelita que venía a Silo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:14
Verse 14. Kettle-caldron, or pot] We know not what these were, nor of what capacity; nor is it of any consequence.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot , etc.] Whatever vessel was made use of, larger or lesser, according to the quantity of flesh the owner boiled for himself and friends, the trident the priest’s servants brought with him, he struck into the boiler to the bottom; of it: all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself ; as his own property; whereas no part of it at all belonged to him, he having had the breast and shoulder delivered to him in the first place; and yet, by this method, all that he could drag up with this three forked instrument he claimed as his own; which might be much, that would hang upon three teeth of it, or in which they were fastened; and, according to Abarbinel, each of them would bring up a pound of flesh, and perhaps more: so they did in Shiloh, unto all the Israelites that came thither ; to offer their sacrifices, which was the proper place for them, the tabernacle and altar being there; and men of all ranks and degrees were treated alike, princes and people, rich and poor; the custom universally obtained, and all sorts of men met with the same usage.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-26 - Samuel, being devoted to the Lord in a special manner, was from a chil employed about the sanctuary in the services he was capable of. As he did this with a pious disposition of mind, it was called ministerin unto the Lord. He received a blessing from the Lord. Those young people who serve God as well as they can, he will enable to improve, that the may serve him better. Eli shunned trouble and exertion. This led him to indulge his children, without using parental authority to restrain an correct them when young. He winked at the abuses in the service of the sanctuary till they became customs, and led to abominations; and his sons, who should have taught those that engaged in the service of the sanctuary what was good, solicited them to wickedness. Their offenc was committed even in offering the sacrifices for sins, which typifie the atonement of the Saviour! Sins against the remedy, the atonemen itself, are most dangerous, they tread under foot the blood of the covenant. Eli's reproof was far too mild and gentle. In general, non are more abandoned than the degenerate children of godly persons, when they break through restraints.
