Note 339 — THE HEBREW TRADITION. (continued 2)

The names of Levi, Gershom, Jahath, Sima (Zimmah), Adaiah (Iddo), Zerah agree. It only differs in Ethan (Joah), and Ethni (Jeaterai). Shimei and Libni appear to be brothers. But, on that account again, the name of Jahath, as above remarked, ought to be rubbed out of both lists, and perhaps be considered as a common surname of the brothers. For Jahath appears in the 1 Chron. vii. 43 as the father of Shimei, xxiii. 10 as the son of Shimei, vii. 20 as the son of Libni, but, xxiii. 8, not among the sons of Laadan, who nevertheless, xxiii. 7, stands in the place of Libni.
