Commentary on Genesis 36:131 voice
And these are the sons of Reuel,.... Another son of Esau's; this man had four sons, as follow: Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah: of whom we know no more than their names, unless Maps or Massa, which Ptolemy (z) places in Idumea, should have its name from Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath, Esau's wife; her grandsons, as before. (z) Geograph. l. 5. c. 16.

- 1 Samuel 16:9
Next Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
Commentary on 1 Samuel 16:91 voice
13. Sama is interpreted as "hearing." What then does Sama designate, except the obedient and simple? For to hear, for them, is to carry out by obeying those things which are commanded by their superiors. Whence also concerning the obedience of the Gentile people it is said through the Psalmist: "A people whom I did not know served me; at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me" (Psalm 17:45).

- 1 Samuel 17:13
The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:131 voice
But his three eldest sons went off, etc. The teachers of that people, whose three orders we have previously explained, always waged spiritual war, either girded against the allurements of their own flesh and mind, or concerned with instructing others.
Bede· Commentary on Samuel, 735Patristic
- 2 Samuel 13:3
Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man,
Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:32 voices
But Amnon had a friend,.... Though in the issue his friendship proved his ruin: whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; so that they were own cousins, the same with Shammah, 1Sa 16:9, and Jonadab was a very subtle man; a very penetrating man into the dispositions of men, and could judge by their countenances what they were, and the affections of their minds, and had a talent in forming schemes; he was wise to do evil and was wickedly cunning.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Shimeah - Called Shamma (marginal reference), was Jesses third son. Subtil - literally, wise. The word is generally used in a good sense, but here, and in Job 5:13, it means crafty.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- 2 Samuel 13:32
But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed all the sons of the king, for only Amnon is dead. In fact, Absalom has planned this since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:322 voices
And Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
And Jonadab - said - Amnon only is dead - This was a very bad man, and here speaks coolly of a most bloody tragedy, which himself had contrived.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 2 Samuel 21:21
and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 21:211 voice
And when he defied Israel,.... The armies of Israel, as Goliath had done some years ago, 1Sa 17:10, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him; this brother of David is called Shammah, 1Sa 16:9; and Shimma, 1Ch 2:13; this son of his is another man from Jonadab his son, who was famous for his subtlety as this was for his valour, 2Sa 13:3. The Jews say (d) this was Nathan the prophet, a son of Shammah. (d) Hieron. Trad. Heb. fol. 76. D.

- 2 Samuel 23:11
And after him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines had banded together near a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 23:112 voices
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite,.... One who was of the mountainous country, as the Targum, the hill country of Judea, of Hebron, or the parts adjacent; this was the third of the first three; there was one of this name among the thirty, 2Sa 23:33, and the Philistines were gathered together into a troop; but so they were no doubt at first; R.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
A piece of ground full of lentiles - In 1Ch 11:13 it is a parcel of ground full of barley. There is probably a mistake of עדשים adashim, lentiles, for שעורים seorim, barley, or vice versa. Some think there were both lentiles and barley in the field, and that a marauding party of the Philistines came to destroy or carry them off, and these worthies defeated the whole, and saved the produce of the field. This is not unlikely.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 2 Samuel 23:12
But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defended it, and struck down the Philistines. So the LORD brought about a great victory.

- 2 Samuel 23:25
Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,
Commentary on 2 Samuel 23:252 voices
Shammah the Harodite,.... Called Shammah the Harorite in 1Ch 11:27; by a change of the letters ר "R" and ד "D", which is frequent: Elika the Harodite; or who was of Harod, as the Targum; these both were from one place: mention is made of the well of Harod, Jdg 7:1.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Shammah the Harodite - There are several varieties in the names of the following shalishim; which may be seen by comparing these verses with 1Ch 11:27.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 2 Samuel 23:33
Jonathan son of Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam son of Sharar the Hararite,
Commentary on 2 Samuel 23:331 voice
Shammah the Hararite,.... From the mountainous country, as the Targum; the Arabic and Syriac versions say, from the mount of Olives: Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite: from the high mountain, as the Targum; in 1Ch 11:35, he is called the son of Sacar.
