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 <a href="/hebrew/1893.htm">Hebel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ebony (a kind of wood)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ebony (1).<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">הָבְנִי</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>ebony</b></font> (so Symm <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font> Ki & moderns;
