The passage lists Shimrath among the sons of Shimei, indicating his place within the broader genealogical framework of the tribe of Benjamin. The name Shimrath, like many biblical names, carries a meaning that reflects a characteristic or hoped-for quality, in this case, possibly related to the root meaning "to guard" or "to keep."
