Bible Person
Meaning: that hears or obeys the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference
This Shemaiah entry refers to the father of Delaiah in Jeremiah 36:12, not to the Simeonite ancestor, the Levitical scribe, the teaching Levite, or the false prophet. He belongs to the family background of a royal official involved in the response to Jeremiah's scroll. First appears in Jer 36:12.1
AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of one of the officials who hears Jeremiah's words read at court. Even a brief paternal notice helps root that political-religious crisis in remembered households. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a familial source in Jeremiah's scroll narrative.1
