Strong's Lexicon Shimi: Shimei Original Word: שִׁמְעִי Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַע (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Shimei, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of hearing or listening is captured in Greek by the word ἀκούω (akouo), Strong's Greek #191. Usage: The name Shimei means "heard" or "hearing." It is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, most notably a member of the tribe of Benjamin who cursed King David during Absalom's rebellion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of personal characteristics or life events. The name Shimei, derived from the root meaning "to hear," may imply someone who is attentive or responsive. The most notable Shimei in the Bible is a Benjamite from the house of Saul, which places him in a politically sensitive position during the time of King David. His actions during Absalom's rebellion and subsequent interactions with David highlight the complex dynamics of loyalty and forgiveness in the Davidic kingdom.
