Zechariah12:13
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart: the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart.
The sacerdotal Tribe was the most bitter and fierce Persecutors of Christ, they hired the Traytor, they sought witness; The High Priest, (head of that Family) condemned him to dy, for all which they shall one day reckon with God, and therefore above other Tribes they are particularly named as chief Mourners for their injustice and cruelty to Christ. Here is one particular branch of Levi's Family mentioned, the Family of Simei, of whom 1 Chron. 6.17. and 27.10. These two Families had been deeply guilty, now they do as eminently concern themselves to mourn for him, to lament the sin, deprecate the fierce Wrath of God, and submit to his Kingdom, which their Fathers did not, would not do. In this Family where most were bitter, bloody Enemies to Christ, some had other thoughts of him, and mourned for him.
