Contextual Overview

1 And David was old, and satisfied with days, and caused his son Solomon to reign over Israel. 2 And he gathered all Israel's rulers, and the priests, and the Levites. 3 And the Levites were counted from a son of thirty years and upward; and their number by their heads, as to men, thirty eight thousand. 4 Of these, twenty four thousand to be overseers over the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges; 5 and four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah with instruments which I made, said David , for praising. 6 And David divided them into divisions of the sons of Levi, of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7 Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei. 8 The sons of Laadan were Jehiel the head, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers of Laadan. 10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah; these four the sons of Shimei.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
