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
The sons of Levi are named a second time to open the wider Levitical houses that did not descend from Aaron, and the list traces Gershom, Kohath, and Merari down toward David's own day. Kohath's branch is carried furthest, reaching Elkanah and Samuel the prophet, whose sons are recorded here under a name, Vashni, that Clarke and Jamieson Fausset and Brown both read as a copied Hebrew phrase for and the second rather than a proper name. Samuel never held the priesthood; his place in this family explains how a Levite living in Ephraim's hill country could judge Israel and anoint its first two kings.
