Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) And the sons of Samuel.--Heb., Shemuel The third break in the Kohathite list.We see from 1Chronicles 6:33-34 that Samuel (Shemuel, name of God) is son of Elkanah, son of Jeroham; hence we might suppose that the clause "Samuel his son" has been accidentally omitted at the end of 1Chronicles 6:27. But it is quite possible that the writer assumed the connection to be too well known to require specification, or that he has here thrown together three independent genealogical fragments. Comp. with 1Chronicles 6:27-28 the pedigree of Elkanah, 1Samuel 1:1 : "Elkanah son of Jeroham son of Elihu son of Tohu son of Zuph." Here again the names vary, yet not so as to obliterate their identity. Elihu ("El is He") = Eliab, Eliel; Tohu, a fuller form of Toah = Nahath.The firstborn Vashni, and Abiah.--Vashni is not a proper name, but a corrupt form of the Hebrew phrase "and the second" (sh?ni, secundus). The sons of the prophet Samuel were Joel, the firstborn, and Abiah, 1Samuel 8:2 (see also 1Chronicles 6:33 below). Joel has fallen out of the text here; it should run, "Joel the firstborn, and the second Abiah." . . .
