דברי הימים א, פרק ו׳, פסוק כ״ח

Tracing family lineages often reveals fascinating variations when records are compared side by side. The conclusion of this specific family tree reaches back through Jahath and Gershom directly to Levi. When evaluating this record against an earlier list of Gershom's descendants from the very same chapter, several clear differences stand out.

The primary approach among commentators points out that certain individuals have been dropped while others have been introduced. Specifically, the name Libni is completely omitted from this later account. At the same time, Shimei the son of Jahath makes an appearance here, despite being absent from the previous record. The exact reason for these shifting family details remains unknown.

Alongside these additions and omissions, several individuals within this parallel family line are simply referred to by different names. As the generations are recounted, Ethan is also known as Joah, Adaiah is identified as Iddo, and Ethni is recorded as Jeatherai.
