What is "that day"?

1.

Radak: The day of the matter that will make everyone's ears ring, will begin the punishment against Beis Eli what Ish ha'Elokim said.

2)

Why does it say "El Beiso"?

1.

Radak: It is as if it said Al Beiso. We find like this - "El ha'Harim Lo Achal" (Yechezkel 18:6).

3)

What is the meaning of "Hachel v'Chaleh"?

1.

Rashi: It is to begin and finish. That day, My decree on Beis Eli will begin; Chofni and Pinchas will die. From now and onwards I will finish My decree from generation to generation to kill them "Anashim", i.e. 18 years old.

2.

Malbim: That day Chofni and Pinchas will die, beginning the curse "Yamusu Anashim." It will finish with the other two curses in the days of David.
