1 Chronicles 4:27 meaning and explanation
Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole clan did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah.
1 Chronicles 4:27, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse sits inside the genealogy of Simeon, the smaller of the two tribes descended from Jacob's sons through Leah. The Chronicler has just listed Shimei's unusually large family of sixteen sons and six daughters, then notes that his brothers' lines stayed small, so the whole clan of Simeon never matched Judah in size.
