Bible Person

Meshullam

Male · 1 cross reference

This Meshullam entry refers to a Benjaminite resident in 1 Chronicles 9:8, not to the other genealogical, rebuilding, or reform-era figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the family lines associated with the inhabitants of restored Jerusalem. First appears in 1 Chr 9:8.1

AI summary: This Meshullam matters because his single cross reference helps define one household within the restored city's settled population. The entry contributes to the picture of Jerusalem being repopulated through remembered families rather than anonymous numbers alone. Taken together, the material presents this Meshullam as a post-exilic genealogical figure in Jerusalem.1
