(Heb.'Shtmza', צשַׁמְעָא ,.fitme; Sept. Σαμαά, nv. r. Σαμά, Σαμάς, Σαμάν , etc.), the name of four Hebrews. (See SHIMEAH).

1. A. Gershonite Levite, father of Berachiah and grandfather of Asaph the musician (1 Chronicles 6:39 [Heb. 24]). B.C. cir. 1200.,

2. A Merarite Levite, son of Uzza and father of Haggiah (1 Chronicles 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 (1 Chronicles 20:7). In the A.V at 1 Chronicles 2:13 the name is even less correctly Anglicized "Shimma." Josephus calls him Samamus (Σάμαμος , Ant. 6:8, 1) and Samna (Σαμᾶ, ibid. 7:12, 2). He is elsewhere (2 Samuel 13:3, etc.) called SHIMEAH (See SHIMEAH) (q.v.); but SHAMMAH (See SHAMMAH) (q.v.) appears to have been his more correct name (1 Samuel 16:9). (See SHIMEATHITE).

4. A son of David and Bathsheba (1 Chronicles 3:5), elsewhere (2 Samuel 5:14, 1 Chronicles 14:4) called SHAMMUA (See SHAMMUA) (q.v.). (See DAVID).
