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 1:15.
2. Husband of Huldah the prophetess. 2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 1:34.
3. Son of Sisamai, a descendant of Judah. 1 Chronicles 2:40, 1 Chronicles 1:2.
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 Chronicles 3:15; Jeremiah 22:11, Jeremiah 1:22. He is called JEHOAHAZ in 2 Kings 1:23-34; 2 Chronicles 1:36. The margin of 1 Chronicles 3:15 identifies Johanan with Jehoahaz, but Jeremiah 22:11, Jeremiah 1:22 shows it was Shallum who reigned under the name of Jehoahaz. He was evidently not the youngest son, though last on the list.
