Strong's Lexicon Shimathim: Desolations, devastations Original Word: שִׁמְעָתִי Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַם (shamem), which means to be desolate or appalled. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of desolation is ἐρήμωσις (erémōsis), Strong's Greek #2050, which also conveys the idea of desolation or devastation. Usage: The term "Shimathim" refers to conditions or states of desolation and ruin. It is often used in the context of divine judgment or the aftermath of war and destruction. The word conveys a sense of profound devastation, often as a result of God's righteous judgment against sin and rebellion. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, desolation was a common consequence of warfare, invasion, and divine judgment. Cities and lands left desolate were a powerful symbol of defeat and divine displeasure. The Israelites understood desolation as both a physical reality and a spiritual metaphor for separation from God's favor and protection.
