7 Of the Gershonites were Ladan and Shimei . 8 The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel , three . 9 The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran , three . These were the heads of the fathers' households of Ladan . 10 The sons of Shimei were Jahath , Zina , Jeush and Beriah . These four were the sons of Shimei . 11 Jahath was the first and Zizah the second ; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons , so they became a father's household , one class .
