The Irresponsible Behaviour of Eli’s Sons and Samuel (I Samuel 2:12-25; 8:1-9)
Hophni and Phinehas were two brothers – sons of Eli the Priest in Shiloh– whom God punished for their contempt, immorality and lack of repentance.
His sons were assistant Priests who helped him with the work of God. Hophni and Phinehas did so many evils in the sight of God with hardened hearts.
Normally, they were entitled to fat, the breast and shoulder of any animal that was sacrificed to the Lord; but they forcefully requested for raw meat or thrust their large forks into the boiling pots of cooked meat for sacrifice. At other times, they would sleep with women right there in the temple.
