This Shemaiah entry refers to the priest in Nehemiah 12:42, not to the Simeonite ancestor, the Levitical scribe, or the many other namesakes elsewhere. He belongs to the restored liturgical life of Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 12:42.1
AI summary: This Shemaiah matters because his single cross reference places him within the public thanksgiving celebrating Jerusalem's restored wall. The entry helps show that worship after exile was audible, organized, and carried by named priests as well as choirs and leaders. Taken together, the material presents this Shemaiah as a priest participating in the dedication worship.1
