On this verse

The sons of Shemaiah - six - Five only are found in the text, and the versions give us no assistance; neither do the MSS. correct the place. If the father be not here included with his sons, some name must be lost out of the text.

Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832evangelical

Related commentary

Six - Including the father. But the Hebrew word, Shisha, which is rendered six, may be the proper name of one of the sons of Shemaiah.

John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765evangelical
