Shemaiah is mentioned in Ezr 8:13 as one of the descendants of Adonikam who returned to Jerusalem from Babylon with Ezra. He is listed along with Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shimei as part of the group that joined Ezra's company at the river Ahava. This return took place during the reign of King Artaxerxes of Persia, who had granted Ezra permission to lead a group of exiles back to Jerusalem to support the temple and the Jewish community there.
