The sons of Israel’s high priest, Eli, “slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting,” (1 Samuel 2:22, NIV). The men, Hophni and Phineas, also pilfered top-grade meat they were supposed to sacrifice to God. They died in a battle. They carried to the front line the Ark of the Covenant, which held the Ten Commandments—treating it like a magic box that would win the day. Philistines won the battle and stole the Ark. Who’s Who and Where’s Where in the Bible 2.0, p. 197.
