(1) One of the twelve heads of the Jewish community returning from captivity with Zerubbabel (Ezr_2:2; Neh_7:7 (by a copyist's error ?Nehum?); Neh_12:3; 1 Esdras 5:8, ?Roimus?).
(2) A Persian officer of high rank (literally, ?master of judgment, taste, reason?) who with others wrote a letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes (Ezr_4:8, Ezr_4:9, Ezr_4:17, Ezr_4:23).
(3) Son of Bani, a Levite, one of the wall-builders under Nehemiah (Neh_3:17).

(5) In Neh_12:3 (omitted in the Septuagint) one Rehum is mentioned with those who went up with Zerubbabel. It is probable that we should read here ?Harim? (חרם, ḥārı̄m for רחוּם, reḥūm of Neh_12:15).

Rehum
(Heb. and Chald. Rechum', רְחוּם, compassionate; Sept. ῾Ρεούμ, but in Neh_3:17 ῾Ραούμ), the name of five men.
1. One of the “children of the province” who returned from the Babylonian captivity with Zerubbabel (Ezr_2:2). B.C. 536. In the parallel passage (Neh_7:7) he is called NEHUM.
2. One of the priests who returned from Babylon at the same time (Neh_12:3). B.C. 536. In a subsequent verse (Neh_12:15) he seems to be called HARIM SEE HARIM (q.v.).
3. A Persian officer in Samaria, joint author with Shimshai of a letter which turned Artaxerxes against the building-plans of the Jews (Ezra 4:8; 9, 17, 23). B.C. 535. “He was perhaps a kind of lieutenant-governor of the province under the king of Persia, holding apparently the same office as Tatnai, who is described in Ezr_5:6 as taking part in a similar transaction, and is there called ‘the governor on this side the river.' The Chaldee title, בְּעֵלאּטְעֵם, bel-te4m, literally ‘lord of decree,' is left untranslated in the Sept. Βαλτάμ and the Vulg. Beelteem; and the rendering ‘chancellor' in the A.V. appears to have been derived from Kimchi and others, who explain it, in consequence of its connection with ‘scribe,' by the Hebrew word which is usually rendered ‘recorder.' This appears to have been the view taken by the author of 1Es_2:25, ὁ γράφων τὰ προσπίπτοντα, and by Josephus (Ant. 11:2, 1), ὁ πάντα τὰ πραττόμενα γράφων. The former of these seems to be a gloss, for the Chaldee title is also represented by Βεελτέθμος “
4. A Levite, son of Bani, and one of the builders of the wall of Jerusalem under Nehemiah (Neh_3:17). B.C. 445.
5. One of the chief Israelites who signed the covenant with Nehemiah (Neh_10:25). B.C. 410.
