Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,
Elkanah, Jesiah, Azareel, Joezer, and Jashobeam are named as Korhites who joined David. The verse belongs to the fuller parallel account of the tribes assembling at Hebron to acknowledge David as king over all Israel and of the events surrounding his becoming king. That assembly included fighting men from the tribes and was marked by a three-day festival. These men belonged to the loyal contingents gathered to David, who are described as mighty men of great skill and wisdom and of perfect heart. As part of the record of names in Chronicles, the verse preserves the records of God's children and the integrity of the tribes.
