1 Chronicles 23:6-11 ▼

6 David divided them into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7 The Gershonites included Ladan and Shimei.

8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the oldest, Zetham, and Joel--three in all.

9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran--three in all. These were the leaders of the family of Ladan.

10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were Shimei's sons--four in all.

11 Jahath was the oldest and Zizah the second oldest. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered one family with one responsibility.
