1 Chronicles 6:34

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler documents the Kohathite Levite lineage, positioning this ancestral segment between the singers listed in 1 Chronicles 6:33 and the descendants of Zuph in 1 Chronicles 6:35.

The words — The verse hinges on בֶּן (ben), literally "son of," and אֶלְקָנָה ('el.ka.Nah), the proper name marking the first recorded father in this specific genealogical chain.

The thread — This sequence links the Levitical service record from 1 Chronicles 6:33 directly to the continued ancestry in 1 Chronicles 6:35, functioning as a structural bridge in the Chronicler's priestly register.

Why it lands — The text requires the reader to acknowledge the unbroken generational succession and the institutional maintenance of Levitical roles without adding theological commentary.
