About Shimei
Shimei is mentioned in 2Ch.31.12-13 as one of the Levites appointed to oversee the contributions brought to the temple during the reign of King Hezekiah. After the temple was purified and proper worship was restored, the people brought tithes and dedicated gifts to support the priests and Levites. Shimei, along with Conaniah, Shemaiah, Amariah, and others, was entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the storage and distribution of these contributions. This appointment demonstrates Shimei's trustworthiness and administrative capabilities in managing the temple resources.
