Shemiramoth Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Shemiramoth was a Levite who served as a musician during the reign of King David. He is mentioned in 1Ch.15.18, 20, and 1Ch 16:5 in the context of the transportation of the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem. In 1Ch 15:18, Shemiramoth is listed among the Levites appointed by David to play the lyres and harps in the procession of the ark. He is specifically named among those who were to play the harps (1Ch 15:20). Later, in 1Ch 16:5, Shemiramoth is mentioned as one of the Levites who ministered before the ark of the Lord with musical instruments after it had been brought to Jerusalem. These references highlight Shemiramoth's role as a skilled musician and his participation in the significant event of bringing the ark to its new resting place in the capital city.
