Shelemiah

Meaning: God is my perfection; my happiness; my peace · Male · 1 cross reference

This Shelemiah entry refers to the official appointed over the storerooms in Nehemiah 13:13, not to the Ezra 10 figures or the fathers named in Jeremiah and Nehemiah 3. He belongs to the restored administration entrusted with temple resources. First appears in Neh 13:13.1

AI summary: This Shelemiah matters because his single cross reference places him among those appointed over the storerooms under Nehemiah. The entry helps show that restoration required trustworthy oversight of offerings and supplies, not only rebuilding and worship. Taken together, the material presents this Shelemiah as an administrator in restored Jerusalem.1
