A personal name appearing in Nehemiah 3:15, identifying one of the builders who repaired Jerusalem's walls after the exile. Shallun rebuilt the Fountain Gate and the wall of the Pool of Shelah near the king's garden. The name may be a variant of the more common 'Shallum,' according to Thesaurus. The slight spelling variation (שַׁלּוּן vs. שַׁלּוּם) might reflect dialectical differences or simply orthographic variation. Nehemiah's detailed roster of builders preserves these names to honor those who participated in the restoration work, making wall-building a sacred act of covenant renewal and communal identity reconstruction.
