Shelemiah/Shelemyahu — a proper name borne by gatekeepers, officials, and others in Jeremiah's time and the post-exilic era
Shelemiah (meaning 'the LORD has repaid/made whole') names several individuals across the books of Jeremiah, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles. During Jeremiah's ministry, multiple men named Shelemiah appear: the father of Jehudi (Jer 36:14), one sent to arrest Jeremiah (Jer 36:26), and a sentry who detained the prophet at the Benjamin Gate (Jer 37:13). A Levitical gatekeeper by this name served in the time of David (1 Chr 26:14), identified as the same person called Shallum elsewhere. Post-exilic bearers include wall-builders and a priestly treasurer in Nehemiah.
