Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַם (shalam), meaning "to be complete" or "to be at peace."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Shillem, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: Shillem is used in the Hebrew Bible as the name of a person, specifically one of the sons of Naphtali.

Context: Shillem is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel. He is identified as one of the sons of Naphtali, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob, also known as Israel. This makes Shillem one of the grandsons of Jacob. The name appears in the context of the family lineage that traveled to Egypt during the time of Joseph, as recorded in the Book of Genesis.

In Genesis 46:24 (BSB), it states: "The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem." This passage lists Shillem among the descendants of Naphtali who went down to Egypt with Jacob. The tribe of Naphtali, to which Shillem belonged, later became one of the twelve tribes of Israel, inheriting land in the northern region of Canaan.

The name Shillem is also mentioned in Numbers 26:49 (BSB) during the census of the Israelites in the wilderness: "These were the clans of Naphtali: the Jahzeelite clan, the Gunite clan, the Jezerite clan, and the Shillemite clan." Here, Shillem is recognized as the progenitor of the Shillemite clan within the tribe of Naphtali.

The name Shillem, derived from a root meaning "peace" or "recompense," reflects a theme of completeness or fulfillment, which is a recurring motif in the biblical narrative of the tribes of Israel.
