While not much is detailed about his life or deeds, his inclusion in the genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. The name Shemaab itself is not widely recognized in biblical texts, and it is possible that it may be a variant or transliteration of a more commonly known name.<br><br><b>Etymology and Meaning:</b> <br>The name Shemaab is of Hebrew origin. In Hebrew, names often carry significant meanings, reflecting attributes or the circumstances of birth. The name Shemaab could be a compound of "Shema," meaning "hear" or "listen," and "ab," meaning "father." Thus, the name might be interpreted as "Father has heard" or "Heard by the Father," suggesting a divine acknowledgment or response.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Shemaab is not directly mentioned in the Berean Standard Bible or other widely recognized translations. It is possible that Shemaab is a textual variant or a name found in less common manuscripts or translations. In biblical genealogies, names often appear with slight variations due to transliteration differences or scribal traditions.<br><br><b>Genealogical Significance:</b> <br>In the context of biblical genealogies, each name serves to connect individuals to the broader narrative of God's people. Genealogies in the Bible, such as those found in Genesis, Chronicles, and the Gospels, are not merely historical records but theological affirmations of God's covenantal promises. They trace the lineage of key figures, leading ultimately to the Messiah, Jesus Christ.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>The inclusion of names like Shemaab, even if not explicitly detailed in the biblical text, highlights the comprehensive nature of God's plan. Every individual, regardless of their prominence in the narrative, plays a role in the unfolding of divine history. This reflects the biblical theme that God is attentive to all His creation, and every person is significant in His sight.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b> <br>In ancient Israelite culture, names were more than identifiers; they were expressions of identity, heritage, and divine purpose. The genealogical records served to preserve tribal affiliations, inheritance rights, and fulfillments of prophecy. They were vital in maintaining the continuity of the Israelite community and their covenant relationship with God.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While Shemaab may not be a prominent figure in the biblical text, his mention in genealogical records serves as a reminder of the intricate tapestry of individuals who comprise the history of God's people. Each name, known or obscure, contributes to the overarching account of redemption and the fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus Christ.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">Shemaab (1 Occurrence)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_chronicles/12-3.htm">1 Chronicles 12:3</a></span><br />The head 'is' Ahiezer, and Joash, sons of <span class="boldtext">Shemaab</span> the Gibeathite, and Jeziel, and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,<br /><span class="source">(YLT)</span><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/s/shemaab.htm"><span class="l"><b>Shemaab</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b> Multi-Version Concordance <b>Shemaab</b> (1 Occurrence). 1 Chronicles 12:3 The head<br> 'is' Ahiezer, and Joash, sons of <b>Shemaab</b> the Gibeathite <b>...</b><br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/s/shemaab.htm - 6k</font><p><a href="/topical/s/shema.htm"><span class="l">Shema (7 Occurrences)</span></a><br><br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/s/shema.htm - 10k</font><p><a href="/topical/s/shemaah.htm"><span class="l">Shemaah (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/s/shemaah.htm - 7k</font><p><a name="res" id="res"></a><div class="vheading2">Resources</div><a href="/concordance/">Bible Concordance</a> • <a href="/dictionary/">Bible Dictionary</a> • <a href="/encyclopedia/">Bible Encyclopedia</a> • <a href="/topical/">Topical Bible</a> • <a href="/thesaurus/">Bible Thesuarus</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub" id="sub"></a><div class="vheading">Subtopics</div><p class="pspc"><a href="/topical/s/shemaab.htm">Shemaab</a></p><a name="rel" id="rel"></a><div class="vheading2">Related Terms</div><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/s/shema'ah.htm">Shema'ah (1 Occurrence)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/g/gibeathite.htm">Gibeathite (1 Occurrence)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/j/je'zi-el.htm">Je'zi-el (1 Occurrence)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/j/jeziel.htm">Jeziel (1 Occurrence)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/p/pelet.htm">Pelet (4 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/b/berachah.htm">Berachah (2 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/b/ber'acah.htm">Ber'acah (1 Occurrence)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/b/beracah.htm">Beracah (2 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/az'maveth.htm">Az'maveth (8 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/azmaveth.htm">Azmaveth (8 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/ahi-e'zer.htm">Ahi-e'zer (3 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/an'athoth.htm">An'athoth (19 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/anathothite.htm">Anathothite (4 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/antothite.htm">Antothite (3 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/ahiezer.htm">Ahiezer (6 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/s/shemaab.htm">Shemaab (1 Occurrence)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/j/jo'ash.htm">Jo'ash (44 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/g/gib'e-ah.htm">Gib'e-ah (45 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/j/joash.htm">Joash (49 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/j/jehu.htm">Jehu (63 Occurrences)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/topical/naves/s/shema--son_of_joel--called_shemaiah.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Shema: Son of Joel: Called Shemaiah"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Shema: Son of Joel: Called Shemaiah" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/topical/s/shemaah.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Shemaah"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Shemaah" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"><script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405';
