How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The structure of the verse is straightforward, listing names in a series. The main finite element is the noun אֶלְקָנָה, which anchors the genealogy, followed by the names of his sons in succession: צוֹפַי and נַחַת.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on Elkanah as the patriarch, followed by his descendants, which is typical in genealogical listings to establish lineage and inheritance.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the word for אֶלְקָנָה is rendered as υἱοῦ (huiou), meaning 'son.' This translation choice reflects a focus on the familial relationship rather than the specific name, which may indicate a broader interpretation of lineage.
The translation emphasizes the connection of Elkanah to his descendants, aligning with the genealogical intent of the original Hebrew text.

Read Matthew Poole on 1 Chronicles 6 →Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(26) The Hebrew text reads: “Elkanah his son—Elkanah—Zophai his son,” &c. Zophai might mean the Zophite. The LXX. has (1 Chronicles 6:25) “And sons of Elkanah, Amessi and Ahimoth;” (1 Chronicles 6:26) “Elkanah his son, Souphi his son,” &c. So the Syriac. That this is correct appears from comparison of Heman’s pedigree (1 Chronicles 6:35). The second Elkanah in 1 Chronicles 6:26 is therefore an intrusion, due perhaps to some scribe who remembered 1 Samuel 1:1, where Zophim occurs just before Elkanah. In 1 Chronicles 6:35 Elkanah is son of Mahath, son of Amasai. Perhaps Mahath is identical with the Ahimoth of 1 Chronicles 6:25; if so, the true reading of 1 Chronicles 6:25-26 would be: “And…
