1 Chronicles 6:17
These are the names of the sons of Gershom: Libni and Shimei.
BSB
ASV
And these are the names of the sons of Gershom: Libni and Shimei.
KJV
And these be the names of the sons of Gershom; Libni, and Shimei.
Gershom, &c.--This repetition (see 1Ch 6:1) is made, as the historian here begins to trace the genealogy of the Levitical families who were not priests. The list is a long one, comprising the chiefs or heads of their several families until David's reign, who made a new and different classification of them by courses.

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
