Shemaiah the man of God. This is the first historical mention (1Ki_12:22) of Shemaiah. The second is found in 2Ch_12:5, 2Ch_12:7, on occasion of the invasion of Judah and Jerusalem by Shishak King of Egypt; anti the third, in the same chapter, ver. 15, that he wrote a book respecting the acts of Rehoboam. The expression, "man of God," owns to a somewhat unexplained history. It is first found in the added part of Deuteronomy, (Deu_33:1) where it is applied to Moses. It occurs once in Joshua; (Jos_14:6) twice in Judges; (Jud_1:13:6, 8) four times in Samuel; (1Sa_2:27 1Sa_9:6-8) twenty-nine times in Kings; six times in Chronicles; once each in Ezra, Nehemiah and Jeremiah.
