Shemaiah in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
1. A prophet under Rehoboam, commissioned to charge the king
and his 180,000 warriors of Judah not to fight against their
brethren of Israel, but to return every man to his house,
instead of striving to regain northern Israel from Jeroboam (1
Kings 12:22; 2 Chronicles 11:2), for that the severance is
Jehovah's doing; so they desisted in obedience to the Lord.
Upon Rehoboam and his people forsaking Jehovah, and building
high places, standing images, and groves, God sent Shishak of
Egypt against Jerusalem; he then took all the fenced cities,
and Shemaiah told Rehoboam and his princes, "thus saith
Jehovah, Ye have forsaken Me, therefore have I also left you
in the hand of Shishak." The princes then humbled themselves,
saying, The Lord is righteous (Psalm 51:4; Leviticus 26:43).
When Jehovah saw they humbled themselves He declared by
Shemaiah, "I will not destroy them but grant them some
deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem
by the hand of Shishak" (See REHOBOAM.) Shemaiah wrote a
chronicle of Rehoboam's reign...

Shemaiah in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE
she-ma'-ya, she-mi'-a (shema`yah (in 2 Ch 11:2; 17:8; 31:15;
35:9; Jer 26:20; 29:24; 36:12, shema`yahu), "Jahveh hears"):
The name is most frequently borne by priests, Levites and
prophets.
(1) Codex Vaticanus Sammaias; Codex Alexandrinus Samaias (2
Ch 12:5,7). A prophet who, together with Ahijah, protested
against Rehoboam's contemplated war against the ten revolted
tribes (1 Ki 12:22-24 = 2 Ch 11:2-4). He declared that the
rebellion had divine sanction. The second Greek account
knows nothing of Ahijah in this connection and introduces
Shemaiah at the gathering at Shechem where both Jeroboam and
Rehoboam were present; it narrates that on this occasion
Shemaiah (not Ahijah) rent his garment and gave ten parts to
Jeroboam to signify the ten tribes over which he was to
become king. (This version, however, is not taken very
seriously, because of its numerous inconsistencies.)
Shemaiah also prophesied at the invasion of Judah by Shishak
(2 Ch 12:5-7). His message was to the effect that as the
princes of Israel had humbled themselves, God's wrath
against their idolatrous practices would not be poured out
upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak (2 Ch 13:7). He is
mentioned as the author of a history of Rehoboam (2 Ch
12:15)...
