Contextual Overview

1 Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel. 2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 3 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. 4 Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges; 5 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD 'with the instruments which I made to praise therewith.' 6 And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan, and Shimei. 8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan. 10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Zina: Zina seems to be a mistake for Zizah; for both the LXX and Vulgate read uniformly יזב, Ziza. 1 Chronicles 23:11, Zizah

Reciprocal: Zechariah 12:13 - Shimei

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the sons of Shimei,.... The son of Gershon, and brother of Laadan, according to Kimchi, which seems right:

were Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei; descendants of his in the times of David.
