Eli the High Priest
In the book of 1 Samuel, Hannah dedicates her son Samuel to the service of God under the guardianship of the High Priest Eli.
Meanwhile, Eli’s two sons behave wickedly and although Eli is aware of this, he rebukes them too lightly and the sons continue their sinful lifestyle.
Eli is told by a man of God that he and his male descendants will be punished for this. A curse is placed on Eli and his male descendants.
