shim´rı̄ ( שׁמרי , shimrı̄ ; various forms in the Septuagint): There are four Hebrews mentioned in the Bible who bear this name:

(1) A S imeonite, a son of Shemaiah and father of Jedaiah, a chief of his tribe (1 Chronicles 4:37 ).

(2) The father of Jediael, a bodyguard of King David (1 Chronicles 11:45 ).

(3) A son of Hosah, a Levite. He was appointed by David to be doorkeeper in the house of the Lord. He was made chief of the tribe, although not the firstborn of his family (1 Chronicles 26:10 ).

(4) One of the sons of Elizaphan, a Levite. He assisted in purifying the temple in the time of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 29:13 ).
