Hophni

“Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.”

“Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD”

“Then the LORD said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of all who hear it will tingle.”

“So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts, who sits enthroned between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.”

“The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.”

“The messenger answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are both dead, and the ark of God has been captured.””
