"Put me I pray you in one of the priest's places that I may eat a morsel of bread" Who made this prophecy and to whom was it made?

This statement was made by a man of God to Eli the priest in 1 Samuel 2:27-36. The man of God brought a message from God to Eli, warning him of the judgment that was to come upon his household for the sins committed by his sons, Hophni and Phineas. The man of God told Eli that his descendants would be cut off from serving as priests, and that his two sons would both die on the same day. The man of God then made the statement, "Put me I pray you in one of the priest's places that I may eat a morsel of bread," as a way of showing Eli that he was a true prophet and had the authority to speak for God.
