Commentary
Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers(25) **And the sons of Elkanah; Amasai.**—See last Note. It is natural to identify the Elkanah of 1Chronicles 6:36 with this one. The posterity of both are so nearly the same; otherwise we might have taken the present Elkanah for the person mentioned in 1Chronicles 6:23.
