Priest who taught Samuel (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eli

'priest who taught samuel' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eli that I've seen before include "Man's name" , "Biblical teacher of Samuel" , "Distort then untruth to get a Biblical character" , "- Whitney invented the cotton gin in seventeen ninety three" , "Old Testament priest, the prophet Samuel's teacher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
