Levite, one of the sons of Korah, and the head of one of the families of the Korhites (Ex. 6:24²⁴And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.

¹⁹And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the Lord, were keepers of the entry. (1 Chronicles 9:19) there is EBIASAPH, a son of Korah, who is probably the same. The Ebiasaph of 1 Chronicles 6:23²³Elkanah his son, and Ebiasaph his son, and Assir his son, (1 Chronicles 6:23) is apparently a great grandson of Korah.
