The name "Shamer" appears in the Old Testament, specifically in the genealogical records that trace the lineage and heritage of the Israelites. The name is sometimes rendered as "Shomer" in different translations, but in the Berean Standard Bible , it is consistently referred to as "Shamer."<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/7-34.htm">1 Chronicles 7:34</a> :</b> "The sons of Shamer: Ahi, Rohgah, Hubbah, and Aram." This verse places Shamer within the genealogical context of the tribe of Asher, listing his sons and thereby contributing to the understanding of the familial lines within the tribe. The mention of his sons—Ahi, Rohgah, Hubbah, and Aram—provides insight into the descendants of Shamer and their roles in the broader narrative of Israel's history.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/7-32.htm">1 Chronicles 7:32</a> :</b> "The sons of Jada, the brother of Shamer: Jether and Jonathan; Jether died without children." This passage further situates Shamer within his family, identifying his brother Jada and his nephews, Jether and Jonathan. The mention of Jether's childlessness highlights the importance of lineage and inheritance in the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Tribal Context:</b><br><br>Shamer is associated with the tribe of Asher, one of the northern tribes of Israel. Asher was the eighth son of Jacob, born to Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The tribe of Asher was known for its prosperity and abundance, as reflected in Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-20.htm">Genesis 49:20</a> : "Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide royal delicacies." The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to affirm the continuity and heritage of the tribe, with Shamer being a part of this enduring legacy.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The genealogical records in the Bible, including those mentioning Shamer, underscore the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in ancient Israel. These records were crucial for maintaining the social and religious structure of the Israelite community. They also served to validate claims to land, inheritance, and leadership within the tribes.<br><br>From a theological perspective, the inclusion of figures like Shamer in the biblical narrative highlights the comprehensive nature of God's covenant with Israel. Every individual and family, regardless of their prominence or obscurity, played a role in the unfolding of God's plan for His people. The genealogies remind readers of the interconnectedness of the tribes and the shared heritage that bound the nation of Israel together.<br><br><b>Name Meaning and Variations:</b><br><br>The name "Shamer" is believed to mean "watchman" or "guardian," reflecting a role of vigilance and protection. This meaning aligns with the broader biblical theme of watchfulness and stewardship, which is a recurring motif throughout Scripture. Variations of the name, such as "Shomer," may appear in different translations, but they refer to the same individual within the genealogical context.<br><br>In summary, Shamer is a minor yet integral figure within the genealogical records of the tribe of Asher. His mention in the Bible serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of Israel's history and the enduring significance of family and tribal identity in the biblical narrative.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shamer</span><p>keeper; thorn; dregs<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shamer</span><p>(<i>keeper</i>). <ol> <li>Merarite Levite.
