Old Testament
Zizah
A Gershonite Levite and son of Shimei who served during the reign of King David.
Zizah was a descendant of Gershon through Shimei, listed among the Levites organized by King David for temple service. He is identified in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles 23 as a leader whose family line did not have many sons, resulting in them being counted as a single father's house. His inclusion highlights the meticulous record-keeping of the Levitical clans tasked with the duties of the house of the Lord.
