The meaning of Shemaah in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
she-ma'-a, shem'-a-a (ha-shema'-ah; Codex Vaticanus Ama, Codex Alexandrinus Samaa, Lucian, Asma): A Benjamite, who was the father, according to the Massoretic Text, of Ahiezer and Joash; but according to the Septuagint huios = (ben) instead of (bene) of Joash alone (I Chronicles 12:3). The original text may have read ben yeho-shama' (compare hoshama', of I Chronicles 3:18); then a dittography of the following (h) caused the error (Curtis, ICC).
