Shallum

Shallum is the son of Shaul who continues the Simeonite line, one of several generations traced here between Simeon's founding son and the notably large family of Shimei.

Shallum is identified here as Huldah's husband — his mention establishes her identity and social location in Jerusalem, grounding this prophetic encounter in a specific historical household.

Shallum assassinates Zechariah to seize the throne, but his reign lasts only one month before Menahem kills him in turn — he embodies the self-defeating logic of power seized through violence.
