• שְׁלֻמִיאֵל

shḗ - lū´mi - el ( שׁלמיאל , shelumı̄'ēl ; both the punctuation and interpretation are in doubt. Massoretic Text punctuates the first element as a passive participle; the use of the participle in compounds is common in Assyrian but rare in Heb (compare Gray, HPN , 200). The meaning of the present form, if it be correct, is "at peace with God" (Hommel, Ancient Hebrew Tradition , 200, "my friend is God"). Septuagint reads Σαλαμίηλ , Salamı́ēl : Prince of the tribe of Simeon ( Numbers 1:6; Numbers 2:12; Numbers 7:36 , Numbers 7:41; Numbers 10:19 ). The genealogy of Judith (8:1) is carried back to this Shelumiel or Shelamiel, called there "Salamiel."
