Usage: The name Shimath appears in the context of genealogical records and historical accounts within the Old Testament. It is specifically mentioned in relation to a notable figure's lineage.

Context: Shimath is identified as the mother of Jozabad, one of the conspirators who assassinated King Joash of Judah. This event is recorded in 2 Chronicles 24:26, where it is noted that Jozabad, the son of Shimath the Ammonitess, was one of the two servants who conspired against the king. The mention of Shimath highlights her Ammonite heritage, indicating a foreign influence within the royal court of Judah. This detail provides insight into the complex socio-political and cultural interactions between Israel and its neighboring nations during the monarchic period.
