Subjects in this Topic:
shil´hı̄ (ש×לחי, shilḥı̄): Father of Jehoshaphat's mother ( = ; Codex Vaticanus and Codex Alexandrinus in 2 Chronicles, ΣαλειÌ, SaleıÌ, Codex Vaticanus in 1 Kings, ΣεμεειÌ, SemeeıÌ; Codex Alexandrinus in 1 Kings, ΣαλαλαÌ, SalalaÌ; Lucian in both, ΣελεειÌ, SeleeıÌ). Cheyne (Encyclopaedia Biblica, article “Shilhiâ€) ventures the supposition that “Shilhi†is a misreading for “Shilhim†(), and is therefore the name of place rather than that of a person; he holds it to be the name of the birthplace of Azubah, the king's mother.
