⁶ And David parted them by the whiles of the sons of Levi, that is, of Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. (And David divided them into three groups, or divisions, by the families of the Levites, that is, of Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.)

⁷ And the sons of Gershon were Laadan and Shimei.

⁸ The sons of Laadan were three; the prince Jehiel (the leader was Jehiel), and Zetham, and Joel.
