SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:28
Los hijos de Samuel: el primogénito Vasni, y Abías.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:28
Verse 28. The first-born Vashni, and Abiah.] There is a great mistake in this verse: in 1 Sam. viii. 2 we read, Now the name of his (Samuel's) first-born was Joel; and the name of his second Abiah. The word lawy Joel is lost out of the text in this place, and ynw vesheni, which signifies the second, and which refers to Abiah, is made here into a proper name. The Septuagint, Vulgate, and Chaldee, copy this blunder; but the Syriac and Arabic read as in 1 Sam. viii. 2. The MSS. have all copied the corrupted Hebrew in this place. Jarchi labours to restore the true reading, and yet preserve the integrity of the text, by paraphrasing thus: "And the second, ( ynw vesheni,) in respect of the first, he was Abiah; and the second, in respect of Abiah, he was Joel." These, Joel and Abiah, were the two sons of Samuel, who administered justice so badly that the people, being oppressed, began to murmur, and demanded a king. See 1 Samuel viii. 1, &c.

Genealogies.
--We have an account of Levi in this chapter. The priests and Levite were more concerned than any other Israelites, to preserve their descent clear, and to be able to prove it; because all the honours an privileges of their office depended upon their descent. Now, the Spiri of God calls ministers to their work, without any limit as to the families they came from; and then, as now, though believers an ministers may be very useful to the church, none but our great Hig Priest can make atonement for sin, nor can any be accepted but throug his atonement __________________________________________________________________
