A Levite, son of the rebellious Korah and brother of Abiasaph. (Exodus 6: 24)
A Levite, descendant of Korah, who "came to David at Ziklag while he was still under restrictions because of Saul." (1 Chronicles chapter 12)
A Levite, descendant from Korah through Abiasaph, mantioned as the great grandfather of the next. (1 Chronicles chapter 6)
A Levite, mentioned as the great great great grandfather of the next.
A Levite, the father of Samuel. He lived with his family in Ramathaim- Zophim in the land of Ephraim. He had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah. The first mentioned had no children, and was barren on by the other. Elkanah, however, tried to console her. God later blessed them with Samuel, in addition to three more sons and two daughters.
One of the gatekeepers of the Ark of the Covenant, when David trensferred it to Jerusalem. (1 Chronicles chapter 15)
An official in king Ahaz' court. (2 Chronicles chapter 28)
Elkanah met and became engaged to Mary Richardson, a woman who was recently rejected by the American Board for missionary service because she was single.
Elkanah and Mary, both having dedicated their lives to missionary service, were quickly appointed, not to South Africa, as originally planned, but to the Oregon Mission by the American Board of Commissioners.
Elkanah wrote a primer in the Spokane Indian language, "Etshiit thlu Sitskai thlu Siais thlu Sitskaisitlinish", which was printed in 1842 on the Lapwai Mission press (Washington State University MASC holds a facsimile copy).
His father’s name was Elkanah, a Levite, and of the family of the Kohathites (the most honourable house of that tribe) as appears, 1 Chr.
Elkanah was a country Levite, and, for aught that appears, had not any place or office which required his attendance at the tabernacle, but he went up as a common Israelite, with his own sacrifices, to encourage his neighbours and set them a good example.
It is probable that Elkanah married Hannah first, and, because he had not children by her so soon as he hoped, he married Peninnah, who bore him children indeed, but was in other things a vexation to him.
