Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

1 Chronicles 7:10

7:10 The son ¹  of Jediael:

Bilhan.

The sons of Bilhan:

Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Kenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar.

1 Chronicles 8:39

8:39 The sons of his brother Eshek:

Ulam was his firstborn, Jeush second, and Eliphelet third.

1 Chronicles 23:10-11

23:10 The sons of Shimei:

Jahath, Zina, ²  Jeush, and Beriah. These were Shimei’s sons – four in all. ³  23:11 Jahath was the oldest and Zizah the second oldest. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered one family with one responsibility.

¹ tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.

¹ tc The MT reads “Zina” here and “Zizah” in v. 11. One Hebrew ms, the LXX, and the Vulgate, harmonizing the form of the name to that found in v. 11, read “Zizah” here.

² sn Verses 8-10 are confusing. Two different lists of Shimei’s sons appear. In between these lists is the statement “these were the leaders of the family of Ladan,” suggesting that the list just before this includes the sons of Ladan, not Shimei. But verse 8 already lists Ladan’s sons. Apparently the text as it stands is a conflation of differing traditions.
