and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn't know that Jonathan was gone.
The Lord’s priest in Shiloh - But as Eli was so emphatically known and described in 1 Sam. 1–4, as God’s Priest at Shiloh, and as there is every reason to believe that Shiloh was no longer the seat of the ark in Saul’s time (see 1 Samuel 22:0; 1 Chronicles 13:3-5), it is better to refer these words to Eli, and not to Ahijah, to whom the next words, “wearing an ephod,” apply. (See 1 Samuel 2:28; Judges 1:1 note.)
