1 Chronicles 6:28
the sons of Samuel—The sons of Samuel are here named Vashni and Abiah. The first-born is called Joel (I Samuel 8:2); and this name is given to him in I Chronicles 6:33. It is now generally thought by the best critics that, through an error of the copyists, an omission has been made of the oldest son's name, and that Vashni, which is not the name of a person, merely signifies "and the second." This critical emendation of the text makes all clear, as well as consistent with other passages relating to the family of Samuel.
1 Chronicles 6:16-48
The sons of Levi; Gershom, etc.—This repetition (see I Chronicles 6:1) is made, as the historian here begins to trace the genealogy of the Levitical families who were not priests. The list is a long one, comprising the chiefs or heads of their several families until David's reign, who made a new and different classification of them by courses.
