The Holy Tent is also called the Meeting Tent. These men served until Solomon built the Lord 's Temple in Jerusalem. They served by following the rules given to them for their work. ³³ These are the names of the men and their sons who served with music: The descendants from the Kohath family were Heman the singer who was Joel's son; Joel was Samuel's son; ³⁴ Samuel was Elkanah's son; Elkanah was Jeroham's son; Jeroham was Eliel's son; Eliel was Toah's son; ³⁵ Toah was Zuph's son; Zuph was Elkanah's son; Elkanah was Mahath's son; Mahath was Amasai's son; ³⁶ Amasai was Elkanah's son; Elkanah was Joel's son; Joel was Azariah's son; Azariah was Zephaniah's son; ³⁷ Zephaniah was Tahath's son; Tahath was Assir's son; Assir was Ebiasaph's son; Ebiasaph was Korah's son; ³⁸ Korah was Izhar's son; Izhar was Kohath's son; Kohath was Levi's son; Levi was Israel's son. ³⁹ Heman's relative was Asaph.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Joel: While it is sufficiently evident that many of the variations of the names of persons have arisen from the carelessness of transcribers, or the inattention of translators, and others from a difference - probably dialectical in the pronunciation; it is also evident, that the same persons, as in these instances, must have had two or more totally distinct names - 1 Chronicles 6:24, Shaul, Uzziah, Uriel.

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 2:8 - Azariah 1 Chronicles 2:38 - Azariah 1 Chronicles 6:9 - Azariah 1 Chronicles 6:25 - Elkanah

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The genealogies of David’s three chief singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan or Jeduthun.

1 Chronicles 6:32

They waited on their office - On the establishment and continuance of the choral service in the temple, see 2 Chronicles 5:12, 2 Chronicles 29:27-30; 2 Chronicles 35:15.

1 Chronicles 6:33

Heman - In general Asaph takes precedence of Heman and Jeduthun, but here Heman is placed first, because his family, that of the Kohathites, had the highest priestly rank, being the family which furnished the high priests (see 1 Chronicles 6:2-15).

Shemuel - i. e. “Samuel.” Our translators have here given the Hebrew, while elsewhere they give uniformlv the Greek, form of the name. We learn by this genealogy that Heman was Samuel’s grandson.

1 Chronicles 6:39

His brother Asaph - Not “brother” in the ordinary sense of the term, since Asaph was the son of Berachiah, and a Gershonite, not a Kohathite. “Brother” here may mean “fellow-craftsman” (compare 1 Chronicles 25:7).

1 Chronicles 6:44

Ethan - Or Jeduthun (see the margin). Corruption will scarcely account for the two forms of the name, since Ethan is used persistently up to a certain point 1 Chronicles 15:19, after which we have uniformly “Jeduthun.” The case seems to be rather one in which a new name was taken after a while, which thenceforth superseded the old. Compare Abraham, Sarah, Joshua, Jehoiakim, Zedekiah, etc.
