6 Then David divided them into divisions according to Levi’s sons: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

7 The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

8 Ladan’s sons: Jehiel was the first, then Zetham, and Joel—three.

9 Shimei’s sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three. Those were the heads of the families of Ladan.

10 Shimei’s sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei’s sons—four.

11 Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became an ancestral house and received a single assignment.
