Zophai might mean the Zophite. The LXX. has (<span class='bible'>1Ch. 6:25<\/span>) And sons of Elkanah, Amessi and Ahimoth; (<span class='bible'>1Ch. 6:26<\/span>) Elkanah his son, Souphi his son, &amp;c. So the Syriac. That this is correct appears from comparison of Hemans pedigree (<span class='bible'>1Ch. 6:35<\/span>). The second Elkanah in <span class='bible'>1Ch. 6:26<\/span> is therefore an intrusion, due perhaps to some scribe who remembered <span class='bible'>1Sa. 1:1<\/span>, where Zophim occurs just before Elkanah. In <span class='bible'>1Ch. 6:35<\/span> Elkanah is son of Mahath, son of Amasai. Perhaps Mahath is identical with the Ahimoth of <span class='bible'>1Ch. 6:25<\/span>; if so, the true reading of <span class='bible'>1Ch. 6:25-26<\/span> would be: And sons of Elkanah: Amasai his son, Ahimoth (Mahath) his son, Elkanah his son, Zophai his son, &amp;c.
