Eli is a high priest and judge in ancient Israel, who plays a significant role in the Books of Samuel. He serves as a mentor and spiritual guide to the prophet Samuel, and is known for his sons, Hophni and Phinehas, who were corrupt and brought disgrace upon the priesthood. Despite his own shortcomings, Eli maintains a close relationship with God and is eventually succeeded by Samuel as the leader of Israel.
"Eli" is the Aramaic for "My God" this is only used in one place Matthew 27:46. When Jesus was hanging on the cross he cried with a loud voice "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?", Which translates "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
There is no mention of a wife for Eli the high priest.
