Bible Question:
What is the name of the partially blind man, 98 years old, who was very fat, and fell off his seat and broke his neck? |
Bible Answer: Hello clbuckner, and welcome to the forum. The man you asked about was Eli. 1 Samuel 4:17, 18 “Then the one who brought the news replied, "Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken." When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy. Thus he judged Israel forty years.” Ocelot |
