This Shammai entry refers to the Judahite son of Rekem and father of Maon, not to the son of Onam. He belongs to a separate branch of Judah's clan material in Chronicles. First appears in 1 Chr 2:44.1
AI summary: This Shammai matters because his cross references place him in another distinct household within Judah, demonstrating how often similar names recur across different family branches. The entry's value lies in preserving those distinctions rather than in public narrative action. Taken together, the material presents this Shammai as a Judahite family figure in a separate clan line.1
