Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name זֵתָם (Zetham), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: Zetham is mentioned as a Levite in the genealogical records of the Chronicles.

Context: Zetham is identified in the genealogical lists of the Levites in the First Book of Chronicles. Specifically, he is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 23:8 and 1 Chronicles 26:22. In these passages, Zetham is listed among the sons of Shimei, who was a Levite. The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties and temple service in ancient Israel. Zetham's inclusion in these genealogies highlights his role within the Levitical family structure, which was crucial for maintaining the religious and ceremonial practices of the Israelites. The name Zetham, possibly meaning "olive-colored," may reflect a characteristic or symbolic attribute associated with him or his family line.
