Bible Person
Meaning: that hears or obeys the Lord · Male · 2 cross references
This Shemaiah entry refers to a Levite resident in Jerusalem in the post-exilic lists, not to the ark-procession leader or the separate Levitical family source of the same name. He belongs to the restored community's stable religious presence in the city. First appears in 1 Chr 9:14.1
AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his cross references place him among the Levites living and serving in Jerusalem after the exile, showing that restoration required a renewed sacred population as well as rebuilt structures. Even a brief list entry contributes to that larger picture. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as part of the Levite framework supporting restored Jerusalem.1
