Gershom, &c.--This repetition (see 1Ch 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.
This site's exposition
Gershom, Kohath, and Merari
on 1 Chronicles 6:16-30
Kohath's branch is carried furthest, reaching Elkanah and Samuel. For Samuel's sons the Hebrew has Vashni, which Clarke and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown read as a copied Hebrew phrase for and the second. Samuel's place in this family explains how a Levite living in Ephraim's hill country could judge Israel.

The descendants of Kohath
Gill takes the Amminadab who heads this line as Izhar, the name given at verse 38 in Heman's descent. He adds that this branch is carried so far for the sake of Samuel the prophet, who came from it. The line reaches him through Korah.
