Shelomith
Shelomith
[some Shelo’mith] (Heb. Shelomith’, or [Ezr 8:10] , peaceful [strictly a fem. form of Shelomi] twice Shelomoth’, [1Ch 23:9; 1Ch 26:25], in both which places, however, the Keri has [1Ch 26:26]), the name of four or five Hebrews and two or three Hebrewesses.
1. (Sept. .) A Danite female, daughter of Dibri, wife of an Egyptian, and mother of the man who was stoned for blasphemy (Lev 24:11). B.C. ante 1658. The Jewish rabbins have overlaid these few simple facts with a mass of characteristic fable. They say that Shelomith was a very handsome and virtuous woman who was solicited and tempted to criminal conversation by an Egyptian, an overseer of the Hebrews’ labors, without complying with him. He at last found an opportunity, by night, of slipping into the house and bed of Shelomith, in the absence of her husband, and abused her simplicity. The day following, when this woman discovered the injury, she bitterly complained of it to her husband when he returned. He at first thought of putting her away, but kept her some time to see if she should prove with child by the Egyptian. After some months, her pregnancy, becoming evident, he sent her away, and with words he assaulted the officer who had done this outrage. The Egyptian abused him still further, both by words and blows, Moses, coming hither by chance and hearing of this injury done by the Egyptian to the Israelite, took up his defense, killed the Egyptian, and buried him in the sand. The brethren of Shelomith, seeing their sister put away like an adulteress, pretended to call her husband to account for it and to make him take her again. He refused, and they came to blows. Moses happened to be there again, and wished to reconcile them, but the husband of Shelomith asked him what he had to do in the matter? who had made him a judge over them? and whether he had a mind to kill him, also, as yesterday he killed the Egyptian? Moses, hearing this, fled from Egypt into the country of Midian. The blasphemer stoned in the wilderness (Lev 24:10-11) was, say the Jews, the son of Shelomith and this Egyptian. The officer who inspected the Hebrews’ labor is he of whom Moses speaks in Exo 2:11-12; and the husband of Shelomith is intimated in the same place (Exo 2:13-14).
2. (Sept. ..r. .) A Levite, chief of the sons of Ishar in the time of David (1Ch 23:18). B.C. 1013. He is elsewhere (1Ch 24:22-23) called SHELOMOTH SEE SHELOMOTH (q.v.).
3. (Sept. .) A Levite descended from Eliezer the son of Moses, and put in charge of the Temple treasury under David (1Ch 26:25-26; 1Ch 26:28). B.C. 1018.
4. (Sept. v.r. .) First named of the three sons of Shimei, chief of the Gershonites in the time of David (1Ch 23:9). B.C. 1013. In 1Ch 23:10 his name should probably be read instead of Shimei (q.v.).
5. (Sept. .) The last named of the three children of Rehoboam by his second wife, Maachah, but whether a son or a daughter is uncertain (2Ch 11:20). B.C. cir. 970.
6. (Sept. v.r. .) A daughter of Zerubbabel (1Ch 3:19). B.C. post 53..
7. (Sept. v.r. .) According to the present text of Ezr 8:10, the sons of Shelomith, with the son of Josiphiah at their head, returned from Babylon with Ezra to the number of eighty males, B.C. ante 459. There appears, however, to be an omission, which may be supplied from the Sept., and the true reading is probably Of the sons of Bani, Shelomith the son of Josiphiah. See also 1Es 8:36, where he is called Assamoth son of Josaphias. See Keil, ad oc.

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

Shelomith
This woman’s name is rendered memorable in Scripture, from having a son who blasphemed the Lord. See the history, (Lev 24:10-23) Her name seems to have been derived from Shalem, peace-but her unhappy commerce with an Egyptian brought forth in this son both disorder and unhappiness. Alas! what can such events produce but evil? “Lust (saith the Holy Ghost by the apostle) when it hath conceived bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.” (Jam 1:15) It is somewhat remarkable that this name of Shelemoth, though it is evidently of a feminine termination, was used for several of the sons of the Hebrews. (1Ch 23:9; 1Ch 26:26)
