⁷The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. ⁸The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel— three in all. ⁹The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran— three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan. ¹⁰And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei— four in all. ¹¹Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
