[Zi’zah]

Son of Shimei, a Gershonite. 1Ch 23:11. Called ZINA in 1Ch 23:10.

Dictionary of the Bible by James Hastings (1909)

ZIZAH.—A Gershonite Levite (1Ch 23:11). The name, prob. by a copyist’s error, appears in 1Ch 23:10 as Zina.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia by James Orr (ed.) (1915)

zı̄´za (זיזה, zı̄zāh; see ZIZA): A Gershonite Levite (1Ch 23:11); in 1Ki 6:10 the name is “Zina” (זינא, zı̄nā’), while the Septuagint and Vulgate (Jerome’s Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) have “Ziza” (Ζιζά, Zizá) in both verses, and one Hebrew manuscript has zı̄zā’ in 1Ch 23:10. We should then probably read zı̄zā’ in both verses, i.e. “Ziza.”
