Shimei

Meaning: Shimi · Male · 1 cross reference

This Shimei entry refers to the Gershonite Levite in 1 Chronicles 6:42 and the father of Zimmah, not to the Reubenite ancestor, the son of Pedaiah, or the vineyard overseer. He belongs to the preserved Levitical family structure. First appears in 1 Chr 6:42.1

AI summary: This Shimei matters because his single cross reference helps trace a Levitical line through a remembered father-son link. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the continuity of inherited service around Israel's worship life. Taken together, the material presents this Shimei as a genealogical figure within a Levitical line.1
