1 Samuel 4:11 Douay-Rheims

And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.

Philoxenus of Mabbug

c. A.D. 450–523 Patristic

Now this is the first lust which conquered the world, and because of it the first transgression of the law took place. It demanded tribute from the priests, who, without right, were taking it away from those who made offerings; it dismissed the sons of Eli from their priesthood. For the lust of the belly is the captain of the host of the left side, and to it are fettered all the hosts of sin.
