This Shammai entry refers to the Judahite son of Onam and father of Nadab and Abishur, not to the different Judahite figure who fathers Maon. He belongs to the clan history of Judah recorded in Chronicles. First appears in 1 Chr 2:28.1
AI summary: This Shammai matters because his cross references place him in a well-defined household sequence where sons and brothers shape the branching memory of Judah's line. The entry helps preserve the fine-grained internal structure of the tribe. Taken together, the material presents this Shammai as a Judahite family figure whose importance lies in genealogical continuity.1
