Zimmah
(Heb. Zimmah’, , purpose; Sept. v.r. and ; Vulg. Zemma or Zamma), the name of two or three Levites.
1. A Gershonite, son of Jahath and father of Joah (1Ch 6:20); probably the same with the son of Shimei and father of Jahath (1Ch 6:42). B.C. post 1874.
2. Father or ancestor of Joah, which latter was a Gershonite in the reign of Hezekiah (2Ch 29:12). B.C. ante 726. At a much earlier period we find the same collocation of names, Zimmah and Joah as father and son (1Ch 6:20). This is but an evidence of the frequent recurrence of the same names in a family (comp. Mahath the son of Amasai in 2Ch 29:12 with the same in 1Ch 6:35; Joel the son of Azariah in 2Ch 29:12 and 1Ch 6:36; and Kish the son of Abdi in 2Ch 29:12 with Kishi the son of Abdi in 1Ch 6:44).
