Eli was a priest in Israel in Saul's day(1 Samuel 1:9), but there was no man named 'Eli' mentioned in the New Testament. Jesus, however, used that expression twice as he died, meaning 'my God'. (Matthew 27:46) ". . .About the ninth hour Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying: "E′li, E′li, la′ma sa‧bach‧tha′ni?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"(prophesied at: Psalm 22:1 )
