A Scribal Error Explained
Scholars explain that the name 'Vashni' found in some translations is a widely recognized scribal error. It's a corruption of the Hebrew phrase for 'and the second.' The firstborn son's name, Joel (mentioned in 1 Samuel 8:2), was accidentally omitted. The verse should be understood as, 'The sons of Samuel: Joel the firstborn, and Abijah the second.'
