דברי הימים א, פרק ו׳, פסוק כ״ז

Genealogical records often prioritize brevity over exhaustive detail, deliberately leaving out certain generations to keep the lists concise. A missing link in the family line is resolved by the sudden mention of Shimei's son, as Shimei himself was intentionally left out earlier to save space. Following this same pattern, the name of Libni, the son of Gershon, was also skipped to prevent the record from becoming unnecessarily long [מצודת דוד].
