Eli was a high priest. His name means the Lord is high. He thought Hannah was drunk when he saw her petitioning the Lord for a son. The Lord answered her prayer and Samuel was born. Eli mentored her son Samuel. One of Eli's downfalls was his lack of discipleship for his sons. They violated God's temple rules, and he did nothing to stop it. His sons were responsible for confiscating the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines. Eli was 98 years old when he learned that his sons were dead, and the Philistines had taken the Ark of the Covenant. Such horrible news caused him to fall backward and break his neck.
