Why does it say "Chamesh"?

1.

'Rashi': There were five, excluding their sister Shelomis 1 .

2.

Vilna Gaon, Metzudas David: This teaches that Yushav Chesed is one name. Malbim - they were from a different wife, so they are not counted with his children in the previous verse.

Granted, if Yushav Chesed is one name, our verse mentions five men. However, why do we exclude Shelomis' other brothers? Refer to 3:20:1:2. (PF)
