Shallum — a theophoric name meaning 'recompensed/whole,' borne by kings, priests, Levites, and other figures
Shallum is a Hebrew proper name likely derived from shalem ('to be complete, at peace'), borne by at least a dozen individuals across 27 occurrences. The most politically prominent is Shallum son of Jabesh, who assassinated Zechariah son of Jeroboam II and seized Israel's throne for a single month before being murdered by Menahem (2 Kgs 15:10-15) — a reign epitomizing the chaos of Israel's final decades. Equally significant is Shallum son of Josiah, identified with Jehoahaz, deposed by Pharaoh Necho after three months (Jer 22:11; 1 Chr 3:15). In the priestly sphere, Shallum served as a temple gatekeeper (1 Chr 9:17, 19, 31; Jer 35:4), and another appears in the high-priestly genealogy as Ezra's ancestor (1 Chr 6:12-13; Ezr 7:2). Other bearers include the husband of the prophetess Huldah (2 Kgs 22:14; 2 Chr 34:22) and a wall-builder under Nehemiah (Neh 3:12). Spanish 'Salum,' French 'Shallum,' German 'Schallum' transliterate with minor variation.
