דברי הימים א, פרק ז׳, פסוק י״ט

The ongoing genealogy of the tribe of Manasseh narrows its focus to trace a specific branch within the extensive family line of Machir [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. The record details the descendants of Shemida, who was the third son of Gilead [רלב״ג]. Although the text does not explicitly name Shemida's father, this omission is intentional. His direct connection to Gilead is already well documented in the earlier records of the Torah, making any repetition unnecessary [רד״ק, מלבי״ם].

Shemida's own sons, Ahian, Shechem, Likhi, and Aniam, went on to hold significant leadership roles, each serving as the head of his respective family [מלבי״ם]. Among these sons is one named Shechem, a name that requires careful distinction from another biblical figure. While an earlier record in the Torah mentions a Shechem who was Shemida's brother, the individual listed in this specific family line is actually Shemida's son [רד״ק].
