1 Chronicles 12:3 -

The sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite . The Peshito-Syriac has בְּנוֹ instead of בֵּנֵי . This has the effect of making Joash the son of Ahiezer, and it makes Shemaah a third name in the list. This name has in the Hebrew the form for the article before it, and should appear in our version either as "Has-Shemaah," or "the Shemaah." The name, together with that of Azmaveth, is found in 1 Chronicles 8:13 , 1 Chronicles 8:36 , as belonging to the Benjamite tribe. The name Jeziel is omitted in the Syriac Version, and the two names Pelet and Berachah appear as sons of Azmaveth ( 1 Chronicles 11:33 ; 2 Samuel 23:31 , where the Baharmite means the Baharumite, i.e. the man of Bahurim , in Benjamin). The Antothite; that is, native of Anathoth. The place is not given in Joshua 18:1-28 .; but it was a "priests' city" with "suburbs," belonging to Benjamin ( 1 Chronicles 11:28 ; Joshua 21:18 ; 1 Kings 2:26 ; Jeremiah 1:1 ; Jeremiah 29:27 ).
