דברי הימים א, פרק ו׳, פסוק י״א

Tracing a family tree requires careful attention to the flow of generations, as names often repeat and branches extend forward in time. The historical record continues with Elkanah, the son of Ahimoth, marking another individual in this dynasty who bears the name Elkanah [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. As the focus shifts to outline his specific descendants [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ], the names Zophai and Nahath are introduced. Rather than a group of brothers, this sequence represents a direct, chronological chain of descent. It traces the family line generation after generation, strictly from father to son [רד״ק, מצודת דוד].

This specific branch of the family matches the ancestry recorded at the beginning of the Book of Samuel. While the historical figures are the same, there are slight variations in how their names are documented; Zophai is known elsewhere as Zuph, and Nahath is referred to as Tohu [רד״ק].
