The Life of Eli

• Eli (priest of Israel in Shiloh)

• Start — 1 Samuel 4:15. The year of Eli (priest of Israel in Shiloh)'s birth is the year he died (2936) - his age when he died (98) = 2838
• End — 1 Samuel 4:18. The year of Eli (priest of Israel in Shiloh)'s death is the year the ark was taken in battle = 2936

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
