Usage: Shelemjah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with several individuals, primarily in the context of the post-exilic period.

Context: Shelemjah, also rendered as Shelemiah, is a name found in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Chronicles, Nehemiah, and Jeremiah. The name signifies a relationship with God, emphasizing peace as a divine attribute.
