Bible Person

Sallu

Male · 1 cross reference

This Sallu entry refers to the Benjaminite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 9:7, not to the similar figure in Nehemiah 11:7. He belongs to the family lines associated with the inhabitants of restored Jerusalem. First appears in 1 Chr 9:7.1

AI summary: This Sallu matters because his single cross reference helps define one household within the restored city's settled population. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the picture of Jerusalem being repopulated through remembered families. Taken together, the material presents this Sallu as a genealogical figure in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
