Description
Who was Shallum?
Shallum, mentioned in Neh.3.15, was the son of Col-hozeh and the ruler of the district of Mizpah during the time of Nehemiah. He played a significant role in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls, specifically focusing on the restoration of the Fountain Gate and the wall of the Pool of Shelah (also known as the King's Pool). Shallum's leadership position as the ruler of Mizpah suggests that he had authority and responsibility over the region. His involvement in the rebuilding project demonstrates his commitment to the restoration of Jerusalem and his willingness to contribute to the collective effort. The Fountain Gate and the Pool of Shelah were important landmarks in Jerusalem, and their repair under Shallum's supervision helped to strengthen the city's defenses and improve its water supply.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
