Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Shimrith, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of foreign influence and conspiracy can be explored through various Greek terms related to those themes.

Usage: The name Shimrith appears in the context of a biblical narrative involving a conspiracy against a king. It is specifically mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:26.

Context: Shimrith is identified as the mother of Zabad, one of the conspirators who assassinated King Joash of Judah. The account is found in 2 Chronicles 24:26, where it is noted that Zabad, along with Jehozabad, conspired against Joash and struck him down. Shimrith is described as a Moabitess, indicating her foreign origin, which may have cultural and historical implications in the narrative. The mention of her nationality highlights the diverse backgrounds of individuals involved in the events surrounding the monarchy of Judah. This detail also reflects the broader biblical theme of interactions between Israel and neighboring nations.
