Shim'at/Shimat, mother of a conspirator who murdered King Joash of Judah
A feminine personal name appearing in the accounts of King Joash's assassination. In 2 Kings 12:21, she is called Shim'at, while 2 Chronicles 24:26 calls her Shimat and identifies her as an Ammonitess, mother of Jozabad, one of Joash's murderers. The slight variation in spelling reflects normal textual transmission. The Septuagint offers varied forms (Iemouath, Samaa[th]), and the Chronicles addition of 'Ammonitess' may explain the conspiracy's foreign connections—court intrigue involving non-Israelite factions. Her name, meaning 'fame' or 'report,' is ironic given her son's infamy. She is remembered not for her own deeds but as the mother of a regicide.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The assassination of Joash, who began well but ended poorly, involved conspiracy by servants of foreign descent. Shim'at's identification as an Ammonitess in Chronicles suggests that foreign influence at court—perhaps through marriages or alliances—contributed to the instability that ended Joash's reign. Her name appears solely in the regicide account, a marginal figure made memorable by her son's treachery. The cross-textual comparison (Kings vs. Chronicles) shows minor orthographic variation but consistent identification. 2×
