1 Chronicles 23:10

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 Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.

9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.

10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.

11 Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.

12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
