[Easton 한국어 번역] 올라감. 법궤가 실로에 있을 때의 대제사장이다(삼상 1:3, 9). 그는 아론의 넷째 아들 이다말의 계통에서 처음으로 이 직분을 맡은 사람이었다(대상 24:3; 삼하 8:17 비교). 이 직분은 아비아달 때까지 그의 가문에 머물렀다(왕상 2:26, 27). 솔로몬은 아비아달을 파면하고 엘르아살 가문의 사독을 대신 세웠다(35절). 엘리는 삼손이 죽은 뒤 이스라엘에서 민정의 사사로도 활동했으며(삼상 4:18), 사십 년 동안 이스라엘을 다스렸다. 그의 아들 홉니와 비느하스는 매우 악하게 행동하여 백성의 큰 혐오를 샀다(삼상 2:27-36). 그들은 음란하고 타락한 자들이었다. 엘리는 마땅히 해야 할 만큼 엄하게 그들을 꾸짖지 않았고, 그리하여 자기 집에 하나님의 심판을 불러왔다(2:22-33; 3:18). 이스라엘 사람들은 아벡에 진을 친 블레셋 군대에 전쟁을 선포했다. 미스바에서 조금 떨어진 곳에서 벌어진 전투는 이스라엘의 완전한 패배로 끝났다. 그들 중 사천 명이 ‘항오에서’ 쓰러졌다. 이제 그들은 ‘여호와의 언약궤’를 자기들 가운데 둠으로써 안전을 얻으려 했다. 그들은 실로에서 그것을 가져왔고, 홉니와 비느하스가 동행했다. 이스라엘이 가나안에 정착한 이래 법궤를 성소에서 옮겨 낸 것은 이때가 처음이었다. 블레셋 사람들은 다시 이스라엘을 향해 전열을 갖추었고, 이어진 전투에서 ‘이스라엘이 패하여 심히 큰 살륙을 당했다.’ 이 큰 재난의 소식은 군대에서 온 베냐민 사람 전령 한 명에 의해 약 20마일 떨어진 실로에 신속히 전해졌다. 그곳에서 엘리는 성소 문 밖 길가에 앉아, 전쟁터의 소식을 초조하게 기다리고 있었다. 민족에게 닥친 재난의 전모가 곧 그에게 알려졌다. ‘이스라엘이 블레셋 사람 앞에서 도망하였고 백성 중에는 큰 살륙이 있었고 당신의 두 아들 홉니와 비느하스도 죽임을 당하였고 하나님의 궤는 빼앗겼나이다’(삼상 4:12-18). 나이 들어 눈이 ‘굳어진’, 곧 빛에 반응하지 않는 맹인의 눈처럼 고정된 이 노인은 이 슬프고 비통한 이야기를 듣고 의자에서 뒤로 넘어져 죽었으며, 그때 나이는 구십팔 세였다. (이다말 항목 참조.) 엘리, 히브리어 엘리, ‘나의 하나님’(마 27:46). 그리스도께서 십자가 위에서 사용하신 외침이다. 마가는 평소와 같이 이 말의 원래 아람어 형태인 ‘엘로이’를 기록한다(15:34).

[Easton] Ascent, the high priest when the ark was at Shiloh (1 Sam. 1:3, 9). He was the first of the line of Ithamar, Aaron’s fourth son (1 Chr. 24:3; comp. 2 Sam. 8:17), who held that office. The office remained in his family till the time of Abiathar (1 Kings 2:26, 27), whom Solomon deposed, and appointed Zadok, of the family of Eleazar, in his stead (35). He acted also as a civil judge in Israel after the death of Samson (1 Sam. 4:18), and judged Israel for forty years. His sons Hophni and Phinehas grossly misconducted themselves, to the great disgust of the people (1 Sam. 2:27-36). They were licentious reprobates. He failed to reprove them so sternly as he ought to have done, and so brought upon his house the judgment of God (2:22-33; 3:18). The Israelites proclaimed war against the Philistines, whose army was encamped at Aphek. The battle, fought a short way beyond Mizpeh, ended in the total defeat of Israel. Four thousand of them fell in “battle array”. They now sought safety in having the “ark of the covenant of the Lord” among them. They fetched it from Shiloh, and Hophni and Phinehas accompanied it. This was the first time since the settlement of Israel in Canaan that the ark had been removed from the sanctuary. The Philistines put themselves again in array against Israel, and in the battle which ensued “Israel was smitten, and there was a very great slaughter.” The tidings of this great disaster were speedily conveyed to Shiloh, about 20 miles distant, by a messenger, a Benjamite from the army. There Eli sat outside the gate of the sanctuary by the wayside, anxiously waiting for tidings from the battle-field. The full extent of the national calamity was speedily made known to him: “Israel is fled before the Philistines, there has also been a great slaughter among the people, thy two sons Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the ark of God is taken” (1 Sam. 4:12-18). When the old man, whose eyes were “stiffened” (i.e., fixed, as of a blind eye unaffected by the light) with age, heard this sad story of woe, he fell backward from off his seat and died, being ninety and eight years old. (See ITHAMAR.) Eli, Heb. eli, “my God”, (Matt. 27:46), an exclamation used by Christ on the cross. Mark (15:34), as usual, gives the original Aramaic form of the word, Eloi. [Smith] (ascension), a descendant of Aaron through Ithamar, the youngest of his two surviving sons. (Leviticus 10:1,2,12) comp. 1Kin 2:27 with 2Sam 8:17; 1Chr 24:3 (B.C. 1214-1116.) he was the first of the line of Ithamar who held the office of high priest. The office remained in his family till Abiathar was thrust out by Solomon, (1 Kings 1:7; 2:26,27) when it passed back again to the family of Eleazar int he person of Zadok. (1 Kings 2:35) Its return to the elder branch was one part of the punishment which had been denounced against Eli during his lifetime, for his culpable negligence. (1 Samuel 2:22-25) when his sons profaned the priesthood; comp. (1 Samuel 2:27-36) with 1Kin 2:27 Notwithstanding this one great blemish, the character of Eli is marked by eminent piety, as shown by his meek submission to the divine judgment, (1 Samuel 3:18) and his supreme regard for the ark of God. (1 Samuel 4:18) In addition to the office of high priest he held that of judge. He died at the advanced age of 98 years, (1 Samuel 4:18) In addition to the office of high priest he held that of judge. He died at the advanced age of 98 years, (1 Samuel 4:18) overcome by the disastrous intelligence that the ark of God had been taken in battle by the Philistines, who had also slain his sons Hophni and Phinehas.
