Was Samuel an Ephraimite or a Levite?
He was an Ephraimite. He was a Levite.
1 Samuel 1:1-2, 20
Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite: And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah.... Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel.
1 Chronicles 6:27-28, 36-38
Elkanah his son. And the sons of Samuel.... The son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toah, ... the son of Levi, the son of Israel.
