However, the narrative context can be related to Greek terms for priesthood and corruption. Usage: Hophni is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to one of the sons of Eli, the high priest of Israel. The name is often associated with negative connotations due to Hophni's actions and character as depicted in the biblical narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: Hophni, along with his brother Phinehas, served as a priest at the tabernacle in Shiloh during the time of the judges. They are infamously known for their corrupt practices and disregard for the sacrificial system, which was central to Israelite worship. Their actions contributed to the spiritual decline of Israel during this period. The narrative of Hophni and Phinehas serves as a backdrop to the rise of Samuel, a pivotal figure in Israel's history.
