Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records the genealogy of the tribe of Simeon, listing the descendants of Shaul, who is identified in the preceding verse as one of Simeon's sons.
The words — The term בְּנ֛/וֹ (be.N/o) literally means "his son" and structures the verse by repeating three times. The name שַׁלֻּ֥ם (sha.Lum) translates to Shallum, the first individual named in this specific family line.
The thread — Shaul appears as a descendant of Simeon in 1 Chronicles 4:24, while his son Mishma is referenced again in 1 Chronicles 4:26 as the father of Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.
Why it lands — The text records tribal continuity and establishes the precise lineage of a Simeonite branch. It requires the reader to track genealogical succession without inferring narrative or theological significance.
