Shallum

Meaning: perfect; agreeable · Male · 2 cross references

This Shallum entry refers to a Judahite descendant in Chronicles, not to Huldah's husband or to the kings of the same name elsewhere in Scripture. He belongs to the clan history of Judah. First appears in 1 Chr 2:40.1

AI summary: This Shallum matters because his cross references place him within a tight Judahite family sequence, showing how Chronicles preserves even smaller branches of descent. The entry is brief, but it contributes to the density and continuity of Judah's genealogical memory. Taken together, the material presents this Shallum as a Judahite family figure within the tribe's recorded lineage.1
