Elkanah is Samuel's father and lives at Ramah ( 1 Sam.
1: 19 ; 2: 11 ; comp.
28: 3 ), in the district of Zuph.
His genealogy is also found in a pedigree of the Kohathites ( 1 Chron.
6: 3-15 ) and in that of Heman, his great-grandson ( ib.
vi.
18-22 ).
According to the genealogical tables, Elkanah was, a Levite, a fact otherwise not mentioned in the books of Samuel.
The fact that Elkanah, a Levite, was denominated an Ephraimite is analogous to the designation of a Levite belonging to Judah ( Judges 17: 7, for example ).
