This Meshullam entry refers to a priestly figure in the post-exilic line represented in Chronicles and Nehemiah, not to the better-known wall-builders and civic leaders of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the restored priestly community centered in Jerusalem. First appears in 1 Chr 9:12.1
AI summary: This Meshullam matters because his cross references place him within the priestly households resident after the exile, where continuity of service depends on remembered descent. The entry is modest, but it contributes to the broader picture of worship life being rebuilt through stable family lines. Taken together, the material presents this Meshullam as a priestly link in the restored religious order.1
A priest (1 Chr. 9:12). 3
