Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 23:16

"The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief." — 1 Chronicles 23:16 (ASV)

The sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief (Heb., head).—The statement that Shebuel was the chief implies that Gershom had other sons not mentioned here, as they were reckoned members of the clan of the sons of Gershom. Shebuel is called Shubael in 1 Chronicles 24:20.
