divided them into courses among
on 1 Chronicles 23:6-11
The thirty eight thousand are sorted into courses by the three Levitical houses, Gershon, Kohath and Merari, and a family register follows in the terse form the genealogies use: names, sons, and which family absorbed which when a line ran too small to stand alone. Shimei's sons Jeush and Beriah are folded into one reckoning with their kin for exactly that reason, verse 11 states. The register fixes every family's place ahead of the working divisions Chronicles builds through chapters 24 to 27.

The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiah, and Zetham, and Joel. Not his immediate sons, but some that descended from him.
