LAMUEL (Heb. Lēmū'ēl and Lēmō'ēl; Septuagint: Ὑπὸ Θεοῦ = Lēmō'ēl). - King of Massa (cf. Greek, Targum, Syriac, according to the more common reading). The Masoretic punctuation has: "king. Oracle, etc." (cf. Vulgate). Massa lies between the Jordan and the Arabian desert; inhabited by Ishmaelites (Gen. 25:14; 1 Chron. 1:30); colonized from the time of Hezekiah by Israelites of the tribe of Simeon (1 Chron. 4:41 ff.). In Prov. 31:1-9 are preserved the counsels addressed to L. by the queen his mother.
