1 Chronicles 23:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:9

The sons of Shimei
Not him that was the son of Gershon, but a descendant of Laadan, his son, as Kimchi observes:

Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, these were the chief of the fathers
of Laadan;
of the families that sprang from him.

1 Chronicles 23:9 In-Context

7 The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 The three sons of Ladan: Jehiel, Zetham, and Joel.
9 The three sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, all heads of the families of Ladan.
10 The four sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.
11 Jahath came first, followed by Ziza. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons so they were counted as one family with one task.
