Eli's failure to decisively discipline his children led to all the following except the
- A. capture of the Ark of the Covenant.
- B. collapse of his priestly lineage.
- C. institution of monarchy in Israel
- D. humiliation of Israel by the Philistines.
Correct Answer: C. institution of monarchy in Israel
Explanation
Eli was a high priest and judge in Israel during the time of the judges. His failure to discipline his sons, who were also priests, resulted in their misconduct and ultimately in God's judgment. However, the institution of the monarchy in Israel occurred later, during the time of Samuel, as the people requested a king. Eli's failures did contribute to significant consequences, such as the capture of the Ark of the Covenant and the collapse of his priestly lineage, but it did not directly lead to the institution of the monarchy.
