STEPBible TIPNR
The Shumathites are mentioned in 1Ch 2:53 as one of the families from Kirjath-jearim, along with the Ithrites, Puthites, and Mishraites. These families are listed as descendants of Shobal, who was a son of Hur and a grandson of Judah (1Ch 2:50). Kirjath-jearim was a city in Judah, known for being the place where the Ark of the Covenant was kept for a period before being brought to Jerusalem by King David (1Sa 7:1-2; 1Ch 13:5-6).
