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 sons of Gersham were Ladan and Shim'e-i.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehi'el the chief, and Zetham, and Jo'el, three.
9 The sons of Shim'e-i: Shelo'moth, Ha'zi-el, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan.
10 And the sons of Shim'e-i: Jahath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'e-i.
11 Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons, therefore they became a father's house in one reckoning.
