Son of Zerubbabel
Who is Shelomith in the Bible?
Shelomith was a son of Zerubbabel, who served as governor of Judah following the Babylonian exile, as recorded in 1 Chronicles 3:19. He was part of the royal line descended from King Jehoiachin and lived during the period of Jewish restoration in the fifth century BC. Shelomith is mentioned among Zerubbabel's eight sons, though little else is recorded about his individual life or accomplishments in scripture. His significance lies primarily in his place within the genealogy of the post-exilic Jewish leadership, representing the continuation of Judah's line during the crucial period when the temple was being rebuilt in Jerusalem.
