Shemaiah

AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his single cross reference carries a Simeonite line forward through a remembered father-son link. The entry contributes to the continuity and structure of the tribe's preserved memory. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a genealogical figure within Simeon's lineage.1
