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 And the sons of Gershon were Laadan and Shimei.
8 The sons of Laadan were three; the prince Jehiel (the leader was Jehiel), and Zetham, and Joel.
9 The sons of Shimei were three, Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran; these were the princes of the families of Laadan (these were the leaders of the families of Laadan).
10 And the sons of Shimei were Jahath, and Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei.
11 And Jahath was the former, and Zizah, the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not full many sons, and therefore they were reckoned in one family, and in one house. (And Jahath was the first-born son, and Zizah, the second; and Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, and so they were reckoned as one family, and one house.)
