rumour, a Benjamite whose sons "came to David to Ziklag" (1Ch 12:3).
Shemaah:
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 (1Ch 12:3). The original text may have read ben yeho-shama (compare hoshama, of 1Ch 3:18); then a dittography of the following (h) caused the error (Curtis, ICC).

(the rumor) a Benjamite of Gibeah, and father of Ahiezer and Joash (1 Chronicles 12:3). (B.C. before 1054)
