Bible Person

Shimei

Meaning: Shimi · Male · 1 cross reference

This Shimei entry refers to the Reubenite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 5:4 and the father of Micah, not to the Levite in Ezra 10:23, the Gershonite, or the vineyard overseer. He belongs to the preserved family record of the eastern tribes. First appears in 1 Chr 5:4.1

AI summary: This Shimei matters because his single cross reference carries a Reubenite line forward through a remembered father-son link. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the continuity and structure of tribal memory east of the Jordan. Taken together, the material presents this Shimei as a genealogical figure in Reuben's preserved lineage.1
