People who search bible verses about Jehovah Shammah want Scripture on the Ezekiel 48:35 city-name — YHWH shammah / "The Lord is there" — not only Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Will Provide), not Jehovah Shalom (The Lord Is Peace), and not Jehovah Raah (The Lord Is My Shepherd) alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, Jehovah Shammah is יְהוָה שָׁמָּה YHWH shammah (Strong's H3074; Bible Hub H3074) — "The Lord is there." Built from YHWH and שָׁם sham (Strong's H8033; Bible Hub H8033) — there, thither — with a directive ending. Ezekiel ends his temple vision with the city's new name: the Lord is there. This list tracks that presence Name and related "God with / among his people" lines, not every Jehovah compound Name and not hiding-place / refuge alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Ezekiel 48 presses that the city shall be called The Lord is there — Jehovah-shammah — and that God's presence with his people is the crown of the vision (Bible Hub MHC Ezekiel 48; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Ezekiel 48). (Jehovah Jireh, Shalom, and Raah live on those pages; this list centers the Shammah Name.)
