Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 6:25

"And the sons of Elkanah: Amasai, and Ahimoth." — 1 Chronicles 6:25 (ASV)

And the sons of Elkanah; Amasai. —See last Note. It is natural to identify the Elkanah of 1 Chronicles 6:36 with this one. The posterity of both are so nearly the same; otherwise we might have taken the present Elkanah for the person mentioned in 1 Chronicles 6:23.
