STEPBible TIPNR
Shemariah was a Benjamite warrior who joined David at Ziklag while David was hiding from King Saul. According to 1Ch 12:5, Shemariah was among the Benjamites, along with Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, and Shephatiah, who were described as brave warriors, expert with the bow, and able to shoot arrows or sling stones right-handed or left-handed. These skilled warriors aligned themselves with David and provided him with valuable military support during his time of exile and conflict with Saul.
