Bible Person

Sallu

Male · 1 cross reference

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

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