Bible Person
Meaning: that hears or obeys the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference
This Shemaiah entry refers to the Levite appointed to distribute portions in 2 Chronicles 31:15, not to the teaching Levite in Jehoshaphat's reign or the men named in Ezra and Nehemiah. He belongs to the practical stewardship that sustains renewed temple worship under Hezekiah. First appears in 2 Chr 31:15.1
AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his single cross reference places him among those helping distribute portions fairly in the priestly towns. The entry shows that reform required trustworthy administration beyond the temple's central courts. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a steward in Hezekiah's worship system.1
