Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers 1878 · Public Domain (10) And the sons of Shimei.—That is, of Shimei…
(10) And the sons of Shimei.—That is, of Shimei the “brother” of Laadan (1Ch_23:7). The bnê Shimei formed four houses, but were reckoned as three, because the two last-named, Jeush and Beriah, were numerically weak, and therefore counted as a single house and class (1Ch_23:11).
Zina.—1Ch_23:11 reads “Zizah” for this name, which is thus spelt quite differently in two consecutive verses. “Zizah” is probably right. (Comp. 1Ch_4:37; 2Ch_11:20.) So the LXX. and Vulg.; Syriac and Arabic read “Zabda.”

Ver. 10. (See Zec_12:13) The Zina of this verse is Zizah in the very next verse, which difference of form cannot be accounted for by any mere clerical explanation. The name Jahath seems to have been a favourite name in this family. (1Ch_6:43)
