Who he was
Libni, also known as Ladan, was a son of Gershon and a grandson of Levi (Exodus 6:17; Numbers 3:18; 1Ch.6.17,20). He was the brother of Shimei (Exodus 6:17; Numbers 3:18; 1Ch.6.17,20; 23.7). Libni's descendants, the Libnites, were one of the Levitical clans (Numbers 3:21; 26.58). During the time of David, the Libnites were counted among the Levites and given duties in the service of the tabernacle (1 Chronicles 23:7–9). The sons of Libni, Jehiel and Zetham, along with their relatives, were given charge of the treasuries of the house of the Lord (1 Chronicles 26:21–22).
