Bible Person

Shimei

Meaning: Shimi · Male · 1 cross reference

This Shimei entry refers to the son of Pedaiah and brother of Zerubbabel in 1 Chronicles 3:19, not to the Reubenite ancestor, the Gershonite, or the vineyard overseer. He belongs to the generations through which the royal line is remembered after exile. First appears in 1 Chr 3:19.1

AI summary: This Shimei matters because his single cross reference connects him to the post-exilic Davidic family centered on Zerubbabel's generation. Even a brief listing contributes to the continuity of the preserved royal line. Taken together, the material presents this Shimei as a descendant within the house of David.1
