The sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite. The Peshito-Syriac has wOnB] instead of yneBe. This has the effect of making Joash the son of Ahiezer, and it makes Shemaah a third name in the list. This name has in the Hebrew the form for the article before it, and should appear in our version either as "Has-Shemaah," or "the Shemaah." The name, together with that of Azmaveth, is found in 1Ch_8:13, 1Ch_8:36, as belonging to the Benjamite tribe. The name Jeziel is omitted in the Syriac Version, and the two names Pelet and Berachah appear as sons of Azmaveth (1Ch_11:33; 2Sa_23:31, where the Baharmite means the Baharumite, i.e. the man of Bahurim, in Benjamin) The Antothite; that is, native of Anathoth. The place is not given in Joshua 18.; but it was a "priests" city" with "suburbs," belonging to Benjamin (1 Chronicles Jos_21:18; 1Ki_2:26; Jer_1:1 Jer_29:27)
