Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 23:11. Therefore they were in one reckoning — The family of Shimei, being small, was united with that of Laadan, that the two families might do that work which otherwise belonged to one, but which would have been too much for either of these separately.
