Bible Person

Shelemiah

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

This Shelemiah entry refers to the father of Hananiah in Nehemiah 3:30, not to the Ezra 10 figures or the fathers named in Jeremiah. He belongs to the family background of Jerusalem's rebuilding effort. First appears in Neh 3:30.1

AI summary: This Shelemiah matters because his single cross reference survives through his son's direct work on the wall. Even a brief paternal notice helps ground the restoration narrative in remembered households and local responsibility. Taken together, the material presents this Shelemiah as a familial source in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
