Shemaiah

AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his single cross reference places him among the leaders who supply offerings for Josiah's great Passover. The entry helps show that large-scale renewal in worship depended on organized generosity from responsible Levitical leaders. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a chief supporting Josiah's Passover.1
