(Heb. Shimnah', שַׁמַעָה [text in 2 Samuel 21:21, Shimay', שׁמְעִי, but the margin has שַׁמְעָא ], i. q. Shimea, Sept. Σαμαά, v. r. Σαμά, Σεμαά, Σαμεά; in 2 Samuel 21:21, Σεμε ‹ ), the name of two Hebrews.
1. One of David's older brothers, and father of Jonathan and Jonadab (2 Samuel 21:21); elsewhere (1 Samuel 16:9) called SHAMMAH (See SHAMMAH) (q.v.), also SHIMEA (1 Chronicles 20:7; "Shimma," 1 Chronicles ii, 13).
2. A "son" of Mikloth, who seems to have been the youngest son of Jehiel, a Benjamite, and "father" (founder) of Gibeon (1 Chronicles 8:32). B.C. perhaps 536. In a parallel passage (1 Chronicles 9:38) he is called SHIMEAM (See SHIMEAM) (q.v.).
