The descendants of Eli, a high priest and judge of Israel, are primarily represented through his sons, Hophni and Phinehas, who served as priests but were known for their corrupt practices. Following Eli's death, the priesthood was taken away from his lineage as a punishment for their misconduct. Eli's grandson, Ahitub, continued the priestly line, and his descendants, including the notable priest Abiathar, served in the temple during the reigns of later kings of Israel. Ultimately, the lineage of Eli's family was largely diminished in importance due to the consequences of Eli's and his sons' actions.
IN A GRAVEYARD WHERE I DRINK BLOOD!
Eli was a Priest and Judge of Israel; his sons were Phinehas and Hophni. He put his sons above God, because Eli would not control them. God cursed Eli's descendants with short lives. See I Samuel 2;12-36 for this interesting story regarding consequences for disobedience to God.
The Lord told Samuel that He would judge Eli's family for the sins of Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, who had committed wicked acts as priests. The judgment included that no atonement would be made for their sins and that Eli's descendants would not live to old age.
All Hebrew priests are of the tribe of Levi, descendants of Aaron.(Numbers 3:10/Exodus 40:12+15)
The punishment for Eli's sons' sins of greed, disrespect, and corruption was that they would die before reaching old age. Additionally, their descendants would never hold positions of power or authority within the priesthood.
