Yes, Samuel was a prophet and a judge in the Bible, but he was not a priest.
Samuel was both a priest and a prophet in the Bible.
Eli was the high priest in the time of Samuel. His weight is not given, but the Bible says that he was heavy: for he was an old man, and heavy (1 Samuel 4.18)
The High Priest, Eli (I Samuel 4:12-18).
SAMUEL
There is no book called "Eli" in the Bible. But the priest Eli was mentioned in 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel.
When Samuel was a boy, Eli was a priest in the temple.
Eli the priest was warned about his sons in 1 Samuel
High Priest
== == And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
The Lord God first spoke to Samuel, when he was a little boy and worked in the temple , under the priest Eli.
In human terms the priest Eli was. However Eli could not even teach his own boys right. God would have been the most effective teacher Samuel had. Evidently Samuel learned to listen well and to follow God and not the bad example of man, at least in terms of his own leadership of Israel. As far as Samuel's own children went, it seems he didn't do much better than Eli - this was one contributing factor to the Israelites wanting a king.In the Bible, Eli is Samuel's teacher. Eli was a High Priest of Shiloh. Samuel was a leader in ancient Israel, and the name Samuel means 'name of God.'
