Elkanah, brother of Johanna of Chuza
Native of Bethlehem in Judah like Jesus, he is of royal lineage like his sister Joanna and his brother Elijah. "They live apart, but they are always great voices in Israel".[1] He is a prince of royal blood, "descendant of the valiant of David, the first alongside the holy king, the first alongside the Maccabees."
This is undoubtedly the Gadites who rallied to David when he was taking refuge in the desert, and the congregation of the Assideans who rose up with the Maccabees.
Apostolic journey
He will join with his brother a Jesus who is persecuted[2]: "Absent when you were strong, present now that you are persecuted." Two other notables will join them: Joel of Abijah called Alamoth and Jude the Assidean.
