Who or what is this?

Shammai was a son of Rekem and appears in the Judahite genealogy of 1 Chronicles 2:44–45. He is listed as the father of Maon and thus stands in the line that ultimately names a settlement in the Judean highlands. His entry is confined to this genealogical notice and no narrative events are recorded about him.
