she-mu'-el, shem'-u-el (shemu'el, "name of God" (?) (1 Chr 6:33)); the Revised Version (British and American) Samuel, the prophet (see SAMUEL); compare Gray, HPN, 200, note 3):

(1) The Simeonite appointed to assist in the division of the land (Num 34:20). The Massoretic Text should be emended to shelumi'el, to correspond with the form found in Num 1:6; Num 2:12; Num 7:36; Num 7:41; Num 10:19. Septuagint has uniformly Salamiel.

(2) Grandson of Issachar (1 Chr 7:2) (Codex Vaticanus Isamouel; Codex Alexandrinus and Lucian, Samouel).
