6:25 The sons of Elkanah:

Amasai, Ahimoth, 1  6:26 his son Elkanah, 2  his son Zophai, his son Nahath, 6:27 his son Eliab, his son Jeroham, and his son Elkanah. 3 

1 Chronicles 6:34

6:34 son of Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Eliel, son of Toah,

1 tn Heb “and Achimoth.”

2 tc The consonantal Hebrew text (Kethib) has, “Elkanah, his son, Elkanah.” The marginal reading (Qere) is “Elkanah, the sons of Elkanah.” The text probably originally read simply, “Elkanah his son.”

3 tc After the last named individual (“Elkanah” in v. 27) some LXX mss insert the words “Samuel his son” to facilitate a transition to the following verse, which beings “and the sons of Samuel.” Among the English versions that include this added phrase are NAB, NIV, and NLT.
