About Joel (Shaul)

1. Levite from the family of Kohath. He was Azariah’s son and an ancestor of Elkanah, the father of Samuel the prophet (1 Samuel 1:1; 1 Chronicles 6:36).

2. Oldest son of Samuel the prophet. He and his brother Abijah so corrupted the office of judge that the elders increased their demands for a king (1 Samuel 8:2–5). He was the father of Heman the singer (1 Chronicles 6:33; 15:17). His name has been mistakenly translated “Vashni” in the KJV in 1 Chronicles 6:28.
