bish?lam (בּשׁלם, bishlām, ?peaceful? (?)): One of three foreign colonists who wrote a letter of complaint against the Jews to Artaxerxes (Ezr_4:7 = 1 Esdras 2:16). In 1 Esdras the reading is ?Belemus.? ?And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions, unto Artaxerxes, king of Persia,? etc. (Ezr_4:7). The Septuagint renders Bishlam as en eirḗnē, ?in peace,? as though it were a phrase rather than a proper name; this is clearly an error.
