23. Assir his son; Elkanah] perhaps redundant here, or omitted in verse 37, where Ebiasaph is the son of Korah.
²⁴Tahath his son, Uriel[¹] his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son. ²⁵And the sons of Elkanah; Amasai, and Ahimoth.
[¹] In verse 36, Zephaniah, Azariah, Joel.
24. Shaul] apparently corresponds with Joel, verse 36. The difference in Hebrew is slight, and might easily arise in transcription. Shaul is to be taken as father of Elkanah (compare verse 36), although the connection is strangely omitted.
²⁶As for Elkanah: the sons of Elkanah; Zophai[¹] his son, and Nahath[²] his son;
[¹] In verse 35, Zuph.
[²] In verse 34, Toah.
26. As for Elkanah: the sons of Elkanah; Zophai his son] Read simply, following LXX., Elkanah his son; Zophai his son.
Zophai] From Zophai to Samuel’s sons the list can be compared not only with verses 33–35 but with 1 Samuel i. 1 and with viii. 2. Such differences as appear in corresponding names are doubtless due to transcriptional errors.
²⁷Eliab[¹] his son, Jeroham his son, Elkanah his son.
