Shemaah, a Gibeathite warrior from Benjamin who joined David at Ziklag.
Shemaah the Gibeathite was the father of Ahiezer and Joash, two ambidextrous Benjaminite warriors who came to David at Ziklag when he was still under pressure from Saul (1 Chronicles 12:3). These warriors 'could shoot arrows or sling stones with either the right or the left hand' and represented the growing support David attracted even from Saul's own tribe of Benjamin.
