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
Eliab his son, Jeroham his son
This last Elkanah is Samuel's father, the husband of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:1 to 2. Eliab here is called Eliel at verse 34 and Elihu in 1 Samuel 1:1. The family lived in the hill country of Ephraim.
