Meaning: that hears or obeys the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference
This Shemaiah entry refers to the Levite sent by Jehoshaphat to teach the law in 2 Chronicles 17:8, not to the Simeonite ancestor, the Levitical scribe, the false prophet, or the fathers named in Jeremiah. He belongs to Judah's effort to spread covenant instruction through the kingdom. First appears in 2 Chr 17:8.1
AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his single cross reference places him within a remarkable royal initiative to teach the law throughout Judah. The entry helps show that reform could involve organized instruction and not only temple-centered action. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a teaching Levite in Jehoshaphat's reign.1
