1Ch 23:8-10 | NET2full | STEP | The sons of Ladan : Jehiel the oldest , Zetham , and Joel

‏ 1 Chronicles 23:8-10

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, ^{▼▼tc The MT reads “Zina” here and “Zizah” in v. 11. One Hebrew ms, the LXX, and the Vulgate, harmonizing the form of the name to that found in v. 11, read “Zizah” here.} Jeush, and Beriah. These were Shimei’s sons—four in all. ^{▼▼sn Verses 8-10 are confusing. Two different lists of Shimei’s sons appear. In between these lists is the statement “these were the leaders of the family of Ladan,” suggesting that the list just before this includes the sons of Ladan, not Shimei. But verse 8 already lists Ladan’s sons. Apparently the text as it stands is a conflation of differing traditions.}
