Subjects in this Topic:
SHEMER.—1. The owner of the hill purchased by Omri (1Ki_16:24). 2. A Merarite (1Ch_6:31 (46)). 3. An Asherite (1Ch_7:34, called in 1Ch_7:32 Shomer). 4. A Benjamite (1Ch_8:12). The Heb. MSS show here some confusion between r and d as the final letter of the name. The AV [Note: Authorized Version.] (Shamed) and RV [Note: Revised Version.] (Shemed) retain the reading of the Geneva version, which is based on the Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] Samad.
