And the sons of Shimei
The son of Gershon, and brother of Laadan, according to Kimchi, which seems right:

1 Chronicles 23:10 In-Context

8 The sons of Laadan: the first Jehiel, then Zetham and Joel--three in all.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran--three in all. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Laadan.
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.
11 Jahath was the first and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they were assigned as one father's house.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel--four in all.
