1 Chronicles 6:28
_ _ the sons of Samuel — The sons of Samuel are here named Vashni and Abiah. The first-born is called Joel (1 Samuel 8:2); and this name is given to him in 1 Chronicles 6:33. It is now generally thought by the best critics that, through an error of the copyists, an omission has been made of the oldest son’s name, and that Vashni, which is not the name of a person, merely signifies “and the second.” This critical emendation of the text makes all clear, as well as consistent with other passages relating to the family of Samuel. |
- firstborn:
1 Chronicles 5:1 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he [was] the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
Leviticus 27:26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether [it be] ox, or sheep: it [is] the LORD'S.
Genesis 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
; Here there is an ellipsis of the name of the firstborn, which the margin correctly supplies as Joel. The word Vashni when otherwise pointed means "second," so that the verse more properly reads "And the sons of Samuel; the firstborn (Joel) and the second Abiah."

- Vashni:
- i.e. Jah is strong; wherefore, sleep thou; changed; my year; second; liberal gift of the Lord, [Strong's H2059]. It appears that the Joel is here lost out of the text; and that washni, which signifies "and the second," and which refers to Abiah, is made into a proper name. The Syriac and Arabic read as in Samuel. The marginal references contain the variation in the names given to the same persons, in different parts of sacred history, as far as it can be ascertained; and nearly the whole, that is at present known concerning them, may be learned by carefully consulting them.
1 Chronicles 6:33 And these [are] they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel,
1 Samuel 8:2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beersheba.
