The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text lists Adaiah son of Jeroham, continuing through a lineage that includes Pashhur and Malchijah, followed by Maasai son of Adiel and others. The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in all 18 words, maintaining the same names and lineage without any differences in content.
