Of the Gershonites were Laadan and Shimei. These two were the immediate posterity of Gershon; are the same with Libni and Shimhi, and heads of families, Ex 6:17.

(7) Of the Gershonites.1Ch. 23:7-11 give the names of nine Gershonite houses, or guilds. Davids courses of Levites were formed according to the natural divisions already existing: i.e., they coincided with the father-houses. They were doubtless twenty-four in number, like those of their brethren the musicians (1Ch. 25:31), and like the priestly classes (1Ch. 24:4). So states Josephus (Ant. vii. 14, 7).
Laadan, and Shimei.See 1Ch. 6:2, where the two principal branches of the Gershonites are called Libni and Shimei. Laadan is hardly the same as Libni, but a branch prominent in the time of David.

THE SONS OF GERSHON
“Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of Ladan. And the sons of Shimei: Jahash, and Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. And Jahash was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.”
E.M. Zerr:
1Ch 23:7-11. The descendants of each of the three sons of Levi were next divided and designated into their individual groups. This paragraph concerns the men who descended from Gershon.

Laadan: Laadan and Libni, seem to have been two distinct names of this person; but the variation of Shimi and Shimei exists only in the translation, the original being uniformly [Strong’s H8096]. Exo 6:17, Libni, Shimi
