זִמָּה is used as the personal name Zimmah, a Levite in the Gershonite genealogy, as at 1 Chronicles 6:5 (the Hebrew-numbered verse in the tagged critical text; the matching English content — "Libni his son, Jahath his son, Zimmah his son" — is rendered fifteen verses later, at 1 Chronicles 6:20, in most English translations, due to a broader Hebrew/English chapter-division difference across 1 Chronicles 5-6) and 2 Chronicles 29:12 — "from the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah."
