The office of the Levites And the sons of Shimei: Shimei is a name that appears multiple times in the Bible, often associated with the tribe of Levi. In this context, Shimei is a descendant of Levi, indicating the Levitical lineage responsible for temple duties. The Levites were set apart for religious service, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a pure and dedicated priesthood. This lineage underscores the continuity of God's covenant with Israel, as the Levites played a crucial role in worship and the maintenance of the tabernacle and later the temple.

Roles and Responsibilities in Worship The Levites, including Shimei's descendants, had specific roles in the tabernacle, reminding us of the importance of serving God according to His design and calling. Faithfulness Across Generations The mention of Shimei's sons underscores the value of passing down faith and responsibilities through generations, encouraging us to invest in the spiritual growth of our families. Diversity in Service Each son of Shimei, though part of the same family, may have had different roles, illustrating the diversity of gifts and callings within the body of Christ.(10) And the sons of Shimei.--That is, of Shimei the "brother" of Laadan (1Chronicles 23:7). The bne 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 (1Chronicles 23:11). Zina.--1Chronicles 23:11 reads "Zizah" for this name, which is thus spelt quite differently in two consecutive verses. "Zizah" is probably right. (Comp. 1Chronicles 4:37; 2Chronicles 11:20.) So the LXX. and Vulg.; Syriac and Arabic read "Zabda." . . . Verse 10. - (See Zechariah 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 (1 Chronicles 6:43).Parallel Commentaries ...
