1 Chronicles

1 Chronicles 23:10–11

¹⁰And the sons of Shimei:^d Jahath, Zina,^e 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.
