Shallum. [Shal'lum]


1. Son of Jabesh: he slew Zachariah king of Israel, and reigned in his stead; but after one month he was killed by Menahem, who succeeded him on the throne. 2 Kings 15: 10-15.


2. Husband of Huldah the prophetess. 2 Kings 22: 14; 2 Chr. 34: 22.


3. Son of Sisamai, a descendant of Judah. 1 Chr. 2: 40, 41.


4 . Son of Josiah king of Judah: he succeeded his father, but after a reign of three months he was deposed by Pharaoh-necho, and taken to Egypt, where he died. 1 Chr. 3: 15; Jer. 22: 11, 12. He is called

JEHOAHAZ in 2 Kings 23: 30-34; 2 Chr. 36: 1-4. The margin of 1
