Shelomith
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
or 1. Married an Egyptian, a connection unfavourable for promotion of piety (2 Corinthians 6:14-15); their son was stoned for blasphemy (Leviticus 24:11).
2. 1 Chronicles 3:19.
3. 1 Chronicles 23:18; SHELOMOTH 1 Chronicles 24:22.
4. 1 Chronicles 26:25-26; 1 Chronicles 26:28.
5. Son of Shimei, a Gershonite (1 Chronicles 23:9). The Gershonites numbered nine fathers' houses, six named after Laadan, and three after Shimei. The three sons of Laadan (1 Chronicles 23:8) and the three of Shimei (1 Chronicles 23:9, descended from Libni and not elsewhere named) were heads of the fathers' houses of Laadan. The Shimei in 1 Chronicles 23:9 is distinct from the Shimei in 1 Chronicles 23:7. The sons of the Shimei in 1 Chronicles 23:7 are not enumerated until 1 Chronicles 23:10. Laadan and Shimei are not named in 1 Chronicles 23:7 as being sons of Gershon, but as founders of the two chief lilies of the Gershonites.
6. Ezra 8:10; but Septuagint read "of the sons of Bani, Shelomith the son of Josiphiah."
