SCRIPTURE

"And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;" — 1 Chronicles 9:14 (ASV)

(14–17) The Levites resident in Jerusalem (Nehemiah 11:15–19).

Word for word, it is the same as in Nehemiah, that is, except that here Shemaiah is ultimately traced from the clan of the Merarites, whereas there one more ancestor (Banni) follows Hashabiah, and the phrase “of the sons of Merari” is omitted.
