Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Gershonites: 1 Chronicles 6:17-20, 1 Chronicles 15:7, 1 Chronicles 26:21

Laadan: Laadan and Libni, seem to have been two distinct names of this person; but the variation of Shimi and Shimei exists only in the translation, the original being uniformly שמעי [Strong's H8096]. Exodus 6:17, Libni, Shimi

Reciprocal: Numbers 3:18 - General 2 Chronicles 29:12 - of the Gershonites Zechariah 12:13 - Shimei

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Of the Gershonites were Laadan and Shimei. These two were the immediate posterity of Gershon; are the same with Libni and Shimhi, and heads of families, Exodus 6:17.
