Vashni

People & Groups • Old Testament
Vashni is the name found in some English versions for a son of Samuel in 1 Chronicles 6:28. The text is generally understood to mean “the second,” identifying Samuel’s sons as Joel and Abijah rather than naming a son Vashni.
Biblical Usage
Samuel’s sons are identified elsewhere as Joel and Abijah. Thus the passage is understood to read, “the first-born, Joel, and the second Abijah.”
