The sons of Shimei,…. Not him that was the son of Gershon, but a descendant of Laadan, his son, as Kimchi observes:

(9) These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.Rather, heads of the father-houses to Laadan. The names seem to be at once those of the clans, or guilds, and of their existing chiefs.
