The name is often associated with negative connotations due to Hophni's actions and character as depicted in the biblical narrative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Hophni, along with his brother Phinehas, served as a priest at the tabernacle in Shiloh during the time of the judges. They are infamously known for their corrupt practices and disregard for the sacrificial system, which was central to Israelite worship. Their actions contributed to the spiritual decline of Israel during this period. The narrative of Hophni and Phinehas serves as a backdrop to the rise of Samuel, a pivotal figure in Israel's history.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2651.htm">chophen</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a son of Eli<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hophni (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חָפְנִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (Sabean proper name <font class="hebrew2">חפן</font> Hal<sup>No 14</sup>) — one of Eli's two sons <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/1-3.htm">1 Samuel 1:3</a>;
