Shemaiah

Meaning: that hears or obeys the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Shemaiah entry refers to a later Davidic descendant in 1 Chronicles 3:22, not to the Simeonite ancestor, the Levitical scribe, the teaching Levite, or the false prophet. He belongs to the generations through which the royal line is remembered after exile. First appears in 1 Chr 3:22.1

AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his single cross reference extends the Davidic family record into the quieter post-exilic generations. Even a brief listing contributes to the continuity of the preserved royal line. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a descendant within the house of David.1
