Editing 1 Chronicles 25:3 (section)

==Commentary==
====Shimei not in the Hebrew text====
The NKJV, along with the NIV, NASB, and ESV, adds the name Shimei to the text, even though it is not found in the Hebrew Masoretic text, the RV, ASV, Jewish translations or Geneva bible, to name just a few. This was an attempt to ''fix'' the perceived error that the six people listed did not include the father, Jeduthun. 

* Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, '''<u>''------''</u>''' Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the Lord. ([[KJV]])
* Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, '''<u>''Shimei''</u>''', Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the LORD. ([[NKJV]])
