Answer Details

Eli's lack of parental responsibility had a number of consequences in Israel, but one of them was not the institution of the monarchy. Rather, the Israelites continued to be ruled by judges until the time of Samuel, who anointed Saul as the first king of Israel. The other consequences of Eli's negligence include the collapse of his priestly lineage, the decisive defeat of Israel by the Philistines, the death of his two sons Hophni and Phinehas, and the capture of the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines.
