In the genealogy of 1 Chronicles, yes, those nine boring chapters, we find that the genealogy of Samuel is traced back to the tribe of Levi and specifically to the line of Levi known as the Kohathites. The people of Kohath's line were in charge of carrying the holy things of God on their shoulders when they moved from place to place. Aside from the priests themselves, the Kohathites were arguably the second most important Levitical position. You may remember Korah and his famous rebellion in Numbers chapter 16.

Remember that the Levites were not given any land of their own and were instead given various cities to dwell in among the rest of the tribes of Israel. We see in Joshuah 21 that Ephraim gave some of their cities and pasture land to the people of Kohath.
