Prominent Bearers 1. King of Israel, son of Jabesh (2 Kings 15:10-15, 2 Kings 15:25 arresting aftermath) 2. Jehoahaz of Judah, fourth son of Josiah (1 Chronicles 3:15; 2 Kings 23:31-34; Jeremiah 22:11-12) 3. Husband of the prophetess Huldah (2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 34:22) 4. Chief gatekeeper from the line of Korah (1 Chronicles 9:17-19, 1 Chronicles 9:31) 5. High-priestly ancestor (1 Chronicles 6:12-13; Ezra 7:2) 6. Descendant of Simeon (1 Chronicles 4:25) 7. Two post-exilic civic leaders (Nehemiah 3:12; Nehemiah 3:15 [Shelun in some manuscripts]) 8. Returned exiles who repented of foreign marriages (Ezra 10:42; Ezra 10:29 possible variant) Distribution and Patterns of Use Approximately twenty-seven occurrences are spread across five historical books (Kings, Chronicles, Jeremiah, Ezra, Nehemiah) and two genealogical sections (1 Chronicles 2–6; 9). The name clusters in moments of transition: the final throes of the Northern monarchy, the outset of Judah’s exile, Josiah’s reform, and the post-exilic restoration. In each setting Shallum stands at a hinge where recompense—either judgment or blessing—is being meted out. Historical Lessons • Political power gained by violence (Shallum of Israel) is swiftly repaid in violence. Ministry and Discipleship Applications 1. The brevity of King Shallum’s reign warns leaders that methods matter as much as outcomes; righteous ends cannot sanctify unrighteous means. Messianic and Covenantal Echoes The recurring motif of recompense embedded in the name Shallum anticipates the Messianic mission wherein perfect restitution is effected: “The punishment that brought us peace (shalom) was upon Him” (Isaiah 53:5). Just as the various Shallums mark turning points in Israel’s story, Jesus Christ stands at the decisive turning point of redemption, securing everlasting peace by bearing the full recompense of sin. Summary Through warriors and gatekeepers, kings and craftsmen, the name Shallum threads a theological theme of compensation—whether judgment for covenant breach or blessing for covenant fidelity. Its bearers remind the Church that God remains just in all His dealings and that every vocation, from palace to city wall, can become a venue for faithful service under His righteous recompense.
