Exodus 6:24
"And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the sons of Korah,.... The eldest son of Izhar, who, though he proved a bad man, yet many of his posterity were good men, and are often mentioned in

general in the titles of some of the psalms of David: the immediate sons of Korah were Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. Aben Ezra says, that Samuel the prophet was of the sons of Korah; perhaps what might lead him to it was, because his father's name was Elkanah, the name of one of these sons of Korah, but cannot be this Elkanah: these are the families of the Korhites; the heads of them, or from whom they descended.
