Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 12:6

"Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites," — 1 Chronicles 12:6 (ASV)

Five members of the Levitical clan Korah. The name "Elkanah" occurs three times in the lineage of Heman, the Korhite musician (1 Chronicles 6:33 and following), and in that of Samuel (1 Chronicles 6:22 and following).

Jesiah. —Hebrew, Yishshiyâhû: "Jahu is my possession." .

Azareel is a priestly name . There must have been Levites around the Tabernacle at Gibeon. But these Korhites may have been members of the Judean clan Korah, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:43, but otherwise unknown.

Jashobeam appears as chief of the Three Heroes (1 Chronicles 11:11).
