<p> ''''' shē´ma ''''' ( שׁמע , <i> ''''' shemā‛ ''''' </i> ; Σαμαά , <i> ''''' Samaá ''''' </i> ): A city of [[Judah]] in the [[Negeb]] ( Joshua 15:26 ). If, as some think, identical with [[Sheba]] (which see) of Joshua 19:2 , then the latter must have been inserted here from Joshua 15:26 . It is noticeable that the root letters ( שׁמע , <i> '''''sh''''' </i> - <i> '''''m''''' </i> - <i> '''''‛''''' </i> ) were those from which [[Simeon]] is derived. [[Shema]] is probably identical with [[Jeshua]] ( Nehemiah 11:26 ). The place was clearly far South, and it may be <i> '''''Kh''''' </i> . <i> '''''Sa‛wah''''' </i> , a ruin upon a prominent hilltop between <i> '''''Kh''''' </i> . <i> '''''‛Attı̄r''''' </i> and <i> '''''Khirbet''''' </i> <i> '''''el''''' </i> - <i> '''''Milḥ''''' </i> . There is a wall around the ruins, of large blocks of conglomerate flint ( <i> PEF </i> , III, 409, Sh Xxv ). </p>

    (Heb. in three forms, Shema', שְׁמָע , Joshua 15:26; Shema', שֵׁמִע;, elsewhere, except "in pause, " She'ma, שָׁמִע, 1 Chronicles 2:43 all meaning rumor; Sept. Σαμά, v.r. Σαμαά, Σαλμάα, Σαμαϊ v ας, etc.), the name of four men and of one place.

    1. Last named of the four sons of Hebron, and father of Raham, descendants of Caleb, great-grandson of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:43-44). B.C. ante 1658.

    2. A Benjamite, son of Elpaal, and one of the heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove out the inhabitants of Gath (1 Chronicles 8:13). B.C. post 1618. He is probably the same as Shimhi (1 Chronicles 8:21).
