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.
This site's exposition
Amminadab his son, Korah his son
Korah led the revolt against Moses and Aaron in Numbers 16, yet his line did not die out with him (Numbers 26:11). Exodus 6:24 names Assir and Elkanah among the sons of Korah, as brothers. Here they stand in a line of descent.
