Nehemiah 3:12
And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters.
And next unto him repaired Shallum, the son of Hallohesh,.... So called, as Ben Melech says, from his being an enchanter of serpents, or a wise prudent counsellor:
the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem; of the other half; see Nehemiah 3:9
he and his daughters; who were rich widows or heiresses, and employed men to build at their own expense; he seems to have had no sons.
