The evil sons of Eli...

So sometimes I like to look up the origins of names and today, while trying not to cry while writing Weevilfic, I was thinking about the use of the name Weevil versus his real name Eli and such. Then I thought to myself: Eli is a biblical name... I wonder what his story is?
And of course it is ridiculously apt:
Eli is a high priest who helped guide Samuel (the last Judge). His sons were wicked, greedy, and sinful and he could not control them. Therefore God cursed his house forever, saying none of the men in it would live to be old.
