Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Shimri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)
Read Chapter 26

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
He had not a first-born. That is, his first-born was either dead or not fit to be chief, and therefore he made Semri the chief, (Worthington; Challoner) who was the second son (Tirinus) of Hosa. Hebrew, "for, or though he was not the first-born, yet his father made him chief. "Septuagint add, "of the second division "but without reason, as they interpret, "keeping the command "instead of Semri, the chief, which leaves us without a proper name. (Haydock)

Richard Challoner

AD 1781
He had not a firstborn: That is, his firstborn was either dead or not fit to be chief; and therefore he made Semri the chief.
