1 Chronicles 23:7-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

⁷ Of the Gershonites were Ladan and Shimei. ⁸ The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel, three. ⁹ The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan. ¹⁰ The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. ¹¹ Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one class.

Does the biblical scripture impute Shimei’s children(Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran ) as being part of the household of Ladan, Shimei’s brother?

Or Did the Old Testament scribes make a mistake as they were writing the sentences in order? To elaborate, was the scripture that states "These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan" have been part of 1 Chronicles 23:8?
