Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - In one reckoning. The Hebrew of the word here translated "reckoning" is פְקֻדָּה, i.e. "enumeration." The meaning is they were accounted as only one "father's house." The derivative significations of the word are "care," "custody," and generally "office" (2 Chronicles 23:18). The total of Gershonite houses will amount to nine, three of these being houses of Shimei, and six of Landau.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) But Jeush and Beriah had not many sons.--Now Jeush and Beriah had not multiplied sons; so they became (one) father-home (beth-ab), one class (or muster--p?qudd?h). Altogether, then, there were nine Gershonite clans: viz., six of the sons of Laadan, and three of the sons of Shimei, among the 24,000 Levites of 1Chronicles 23:4.
