A priest at Shiloh in Israel's early days, Eli served as a judge and guardian of the young prophet Samuel. Though his ministry was godly, his own sons were wicked and brought disgrace on the priesthood, leading to a prophetic word that his house would lose its standing. The ark of the covenant was captured during his final days, fulfilling judgment against his unfaithful household.
