שִׁמְעָא H8092
Shimea; a personal name, variant of Shammah, borne by relatives of David and by Levites
Shimea is a variant form of the better-known name Shammah, itself derived from the root שׁמע. The most prominent bearer is David's brother, the third son of Jesse (1 Chr 2:13), who appears under the forms Shammah (1 Sam 16:9; 17:13), Shimeah (2 Sam 13:3, 32), and Shimea (2 Sam 21:21 Qere). A son of David also bears this name (1 Chr 3:5), as do two Levites in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles 6. The LXX reflects multiple Greek spellings including Σεμεει, Σαμαα, and Σομεα.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper masculine name functioning as a variant of Shammah/Shimeah, rooted in שׁמע ('to hear'). David's brother appears under this form in 1 Chronicles 2:13 and 20:7 (Qere), while the Ketiv reads שמעי. A Davidic son also bears the name (1 Chr 3:5, = Shammua). Two Levites in 1 Chronicles 6:30, 39 round out the attestations. Spanish 'Simea' and German 'Schema' both attempt to transliterate the underlying Hebrew. 5×
