Bible Person

Meshullam

Male · 1 cross reference

This Meshullam entry refers to a Benjaminite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 9:7 and the father of Sallu, not to the Nehemiah 11 namesake or the many other figures of the same name. He belongs to the family lines associated with the inhabitants of restored Jerusalem. First appears in 1 Chr 9:7.1

AI summary: This Meshullam 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 Meshullam as a genealogical figure in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
