1 Chronicles 6:25The sons of Elkanah: Amasai, and Ahimoth.
The setting
Post-exile Jerusalem, ~450 BC. Scribes carefully verify bloodlines to determine temple duties in modern-day Israel...
The emotion here: reverent care for preserving what exile nearly destroyed
The original word
Elkanah (אֶלְקָנָה) — 'God has possessed' or 'God has created'
Why it matters
This Elkanah is likely an ancestor of the more famous Elkanah, Samuel's father
