Shelomith is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament, whose name means "peaceful" or "peaceable" in Hebrew. The name appears in several contexts, referring to different individuals, each playing a distinct role in the narrative of Israel's history.

1. Shelomith, Daughter of Dibri: The most notable mention of Shelomith is found in Leviticus 24:10-11. She is identified as the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan. Shelomith's son, whose father was an Egyptian, became involved in a significant incident where he blasphemed the Name of the LORD during a quarrel with an Israelite man. This event led to the establishment of laws concerning blasphemy. The text states: "Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)" (Leviticus 24:10-11). This incident underscores the importance of reverence for God's name and the seriousness of blasphemy in Israelite society.

2. Shelomith, Descendant of David: Another Shelomith is mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 3:19, Shelomith is listed as a descendant of Zerubbabel, a leader who played a crucial role in the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon and the rebuilding of the temple. This Shelomith is part of the royal lineage, highlighting the continuation of Davidic heritage and God's covenant promises to David.

3. Shelomith, a Levite: In 1 Chronicles 23:9, Shelomith is mentioned as a Levite, a descendant of Izhar, the son of Kohath. The Levites were set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle, and later the temple. This Shelomith is part of the broader narrative of the organization and responsibilities of the Levitical families, emphasizing the importance of worship and service in the life of Israel.

4. Shelomith, Overseer of Treasuries: Another reference to a Shelomith is found in 1 Chronicles 26:25-26, where he is identified as an overseer of the treasuries of the house of God. This Shelomith, a descendant of Eliezer, the son of Moses, was responsible for the treasures dedicated to the LORD. The passage reads: "His relatives through Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the other army commanders." (1 Chronicles 26:25-26). This role underscores the importance of stewardship and the careful management of resources dedicated to God.

In each of these instances, the name Shelomith is associated with significant events or roles within the community of Israel, reflecting themes of reverence, heritage, service, and stewardship.Shelo'mith (5 Occurrences)
