Meaning: Shimi · Male · 7 cross references
This Shimei entry refers to the Gershonite Levite, son of Gershon, not the Benjaminite who cursed David or other men with the same name. He stands at the head of one of the principal Levitical branches. First appears in Exod 6:17.1
AI summary: This Shimei matters because the cross references preserve him within the core family structure of the Levites. His descendants continue through service lists and clan records, showing how worship depended on remembered households and inherited responsibilities. The prophetic mention in Zechariah extends the line's identity into later communal memory. Taken together, the material presents this Shimei as an ancestral Levite whose line contributes to the ordered continuity of sacred service.1
