("retribution".)
1. Son of Jabesh; 15th king of Israel. Smote Zachariah, son of Jeroboam II, openly before the people (showing that their sympathies were with him), and seized the kingdom (2 Kings 15:9-10), thereby fulfilling the prophecy that Jehu's dynasty should last only to the fourth generation (2 Kings 10:30). Slain after a month's reign by Menahem, illustrating the retributive law (Matthew 26:52; Revelation 13:10).
2. The prophetess Huldah's husband (2 Kings 22:14); keeper of the priestly vestments (2 Chronicles 34:22).

8. 1 Chronicles 9:17; Ezra 2:42.
9. Son of Kore (1 Chronicles 9:19; 1 Chronicles 9:31). From 1 Chronicles 9:18 it seems Shallum, etc., were of higher rank than Shallum, Akkub, etc., who were "for the companies of the sons of Levi."
