Ver. 22-28. The sons of Kohath, Amminadab,…. The same with Izhar, 1Ch 6:2 the posterity of his brethren, Amram, Hebron, and Uzziel, are omitted; and his genealogy is carried to a considerable length, for the sake of Samuel the prophet, who sprang from him: it stands thus, Korah, Assir, Elkanah, Ebiasaph, Assir, Tahath, Uriel, called Zephaniah, 1Ch 6:36 Uzziah, the same with Azariah, 1Ch 6:36. Shaul, whose name is Joel, 1Ch 6:36 then through the sons of Elkanah, before mentioned, Amasai, Ahimoth, called Mahath, 1Ch 6:35 another Elkanah, Zophai, or Zuph, 1Ch 6:35. Nahath, the same with Toah, 1Ch 6:34 and Tohu, 1Sa 1:1, Eliab, called Eliel, 1Ch 6:34, and Elihu, 1Sa 1:1, Jeroham, another Elkanah, the father of Samuel the prophet, whose firstborn was Vashni, and whose name also was Joel, 1Ch 6:33 and so here it is read in the Syriac and Arabic versions:
and his second son Abiah.

(2223) The sons of Kohath. As the text stands we have here a threefold list, each portion of which is isolated from the rest, and begins afresh with the word on (the sons of).
(22) Amminadab his son.Amminadab is not mentioned as a son of Kohath in the Pentateuch or elsewhere. Korah, here called son of Amminadab, is called son of Izhar, son of Kohath, Exo. 6:21. (See 1Ch. 6:18, supra, and 1Ch. 6:38, infra.) Some assume that Amminadab is a by-name of Izhar (so Margin). It is more likely that the name Izhar has dropped out of the text of 1Ch. 6:22.
(22, 23) Assir his son, Elkanah his son, and Ebiasaph his son.Comp. Exo. 6:24 : And the sons of Korah, Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph, these are the sons of Korah. The connection, then, is as follows:
The conjunction and, in 1Ch. 6:23, seems to hint that the connection is no longer one of direct descent, but that the three, Assir, Elkanah, and Ebiasaph, are to be regarded as brothers.
(23) And Assir his son.Comp. 1Ch. 6:37 below, in the line of Heman, which in great part coincides with the present series. There we read, Assir, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah. The present Assir is therefore son of Ebiasaph, and nephew of the former Assir (1Ch. 6:22). The form of a direct descent is now resumed and continued with Tahath, son of Assir (1Ch. 6:24).

1Ch 6:22 The sons of Kohath; Amminadab his son, Korah his son, Assir his son,
Ver. 22. Korah his son. ] This was that sinner against his own soul, Num 16:1 whom the earth swallowed up quick. Howbeit his children came to good, many of them, as Elkanah, Samuel, the sons of Korah, in David’s days. Dathan and Abiram, his fellow sinners, are stigmatised for their stubbornness, Num 26:9 as before them was Cain, Gen 4:15 and after them Ahaz. 2Ch 28:22
