Who he was

Eleazar is briefly mentioned in 1 Samuel 7:1 as the son of Abinadab. When the ark of God was brought to Abinadab's house in Kiriath-jearim, Eleazar was consecrated to guard it. The ark had been captured by the Philistines but was returned after it caused plagues among them. Eleazar's role was to ensure the proper care and protection of the sacred object.
