(Heb.'Shtmza', öùַׁîְòָà ,.fitme; Sept. ÓáìáÜ , nv. r. ÓáìÜ , ÓáìÜò , ÓáìÜí , etc.), the name of four Hebrews. SEE SHIMEAH.
1. A. Gershonite Levite, father of Berachiah and grandfather of Asaph the musician (1Ch_6:39 [Heb. 24]). B.C. cir. 1200.,
2. A Merarite Levite, son of Uzza and father of Haggiah (1Ch_6:30 [Heb. 15]). B.C. ante 1043.
3. The third in age of David's brothers, and father of Jonathan who slew Goliath's brother (1Ch_20:7). In the A.V at 1Ch_2:13 the name is even less correctly Anglicized "Shimma." Josephus calls him Samamus ( ÓÜìáìïò , Ant. 6:8, 1) and Samna ( Óáìᾶ , ibid. 7:12, 2). He is elsewhere (2Sa_13:3, etc.) called SHIMEAH SEE SHIMEAH (q.v.); but SHAMMAH SEE SHAMMAH (q.v.) appears to have been his more correct name (1Sa_16:9). SEE SHIMEATHITE.
4. A son of David and Bathsheba (1Ch_3:5), elsewhere (2Sa_5:14, 1Ch_14:4) called SHAMMUA SEE SHAMMUA (q.v.). SEE DAVID.
