1 Chronicles 23:9 In-Context

7 For the Gershuni: La'dan and Shim'i.
8 The sons of La'dan: Yechi'el the chief, Zetam and Yo'el - three.
9 The sons of Shim'i: Shlomit, Hazi'el and Haran - three. These were the heads of the clans of La'dan.
10 The sons of Shim'i: Yachat, Zina Ye'ush and B'ri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.
11 Yachat was the chief and Zizah the second, then Ye'ush and B'ri'ah, who did not have many descendants and were therefore counted as one clan.
