Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Shimeam: Shimeam seems to be a mistake for Shimeah; the only difference being ם, mem final, and ה, hay; and the LXX in both places read בלבב, Samaa. 1 Chronicles 8:32, Shimeah

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

An almost exact repetition of 1 Chronicles 8:29-38; and probably intentionally made by the author. In order to connect the genealogical section of his work with the historical, he re-introduces the genealogy of the person with whose death his historical section opens.
