1 Chronicles 23:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:11

And Jahath was the chief
The prince and head of a family:

and Ziza the second;
the same with Zina in ( 1 Chronicles 23:10 ) , and is there read Ziza in the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions:

but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons;
so as to constitute distinct families:

therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's
house;
made one family with their brethren.
