Which of the following practices was not associated with the sons of Eli

The correct option is "Having great regard for the words of their father." The sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests who served in the temple but they were corrupt and engaged in several unethical practices. They would forcefully take the raw sacrificial meat meant for God, and they would also disregard the advice and concerns of the worshippers. They treated the offering of the Lord with contempt by stealing and consuming it. However, they did not have great regard for the words of their father Eli, who was also a priest and a judge. In fact, they disobeyed his warnings and continued with their corrupt practices.
