Eli

was a priest at Shiloh and a judge of Israel. He became Samuel's guardian after Hannah brought her son to the temple. When God spoke to Samuel, it was Eli who realized the voice was the Lord's, and he told Samuel how to respond. Eli had two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, who also served as priests. Both of them were wicked and blasphemed God. Although Eli rebuked his sons, they did not listen. A messenger from God announced to Eli that his household had been rejected by the Lord. Eli died after receiving news that both of his sons had been killed in battle and the ark of the Lord had been captured. (1 Samuel 4:12-18)
