Exegesis
The construct noun benei {בְּנֵ֥י | bə-nē} ‘sons of’ forms a genitival relationship with shim‘i {שִׁמְעִֽי | šim-ʿī} ‘Shimei’, indicating lineage. Hebrew omits an overt verb; in English we supply “were” to render the implied copula while preserving the verbless nominal clause structure.
Root and etymology
