Bible Person

Zimmah

Meaning: thought; wickedness · Male · 1 cross reference

This Zimmah entry refers to the father of Joah in 2 Chronicles 29:12, not to the Gershonite namesake elsewhere. He belongs to the family background of Levites active in Hezekiah's reform. First appears in 2 Chr 29:12.1

AI summary: This Zimmah matters because his single cross reference survives through a son who participates in temple purification under Hezekiah. Even a brief paternal notice helps root reform in remembered Levitical households. Taken together, the material presents this Zimmah as a familial source in Judah's worship renewal.1
