People from Shumath(?)
The Shumathites were a family from Kirjath-jearim, descendants of Judah through Shobal.
The Shumathites are mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:53 as one of the families from Kirjath-jearim, along with the Ithrites, Puthites, and Mishraites. These families are listed as descendants of Shobal, who was a son of Hur and a grandson of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:50). Kirjath-jearim was a city in Judah, known for being the place where the Ark of the Covenant was kept for a period before being brought to Jerusalem by King David (1 Samuel 7:1-2; 1 Chronicles 13:5-6).
