As concerning the sons of Laadan,…. The same with Libni, see 1Ch 23:7
the sons of the Gershonite Laadan; so called, to distinguish him from another Laadan, as Kimchi thinks:
chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite; that sprung from him: were Jehieli; and his sons next mentioned.

(21, 22) These two verses contain one statement, viz :The sons of Laadan, i.e., The sons of the Gershonite belonging to Laadan, the heads of the houses of Laadan the Gershonite, Jehieli, that is, the sons of Kehieli, Zetham, and Joel his brother, were over the treasures of the house of Jehovah. In other words, Zetham and Joel the chiefs of the clan Jehiel, which was the leading house of the Laadanite branch of Gershon, had charge of the Temple stores. (Comp. 1Ch. 23:7-8.) Jehieli looks like the gentilic form of Jehiel, the Jehielite.
