Ichabod was the son of Ali the priest of Shilo


Explanation:
He was born at the time the ARk of the Covenant fell to the Philistines. "We shall call the boy Ichabod, meaning that honour is departed from Israel.
Some think the name (meaning no honour) is an abbreviation of the opposite meaning: Avi (the Lord) is Honour
