Kish son of Abdi and Azariah son of Jehallelel from the Merarites;
Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah from the Gershonites;

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

Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the Lord’s house under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

Shimei's sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei's sons-four. 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.
