Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
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 (Num_1:6; Num_2:12; Num_7:36, Num_7:41; Num_10:19). The genealogy of Judith (8:1) is carried back to this Shelumiel or Shelamiel, called there ?Salamiel.?
