This Shemaiah entry refers to a Levitical family source connected with Obadiah and the worship life of post-exilic Jerusalem, not to the ark-procession leader or the Levite in Nehemiah 11:15. He belongs to the restored musical and liturgical community. First appears in 1 Chr 9:16.1
AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his cross references place him in the line behind active worship service in Jerusalem after the exile. The entry helps connect remembered ancestry with the functioning praise life of the restored city. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a Levitical family source in post-exilic worship continuity.1
