Shallum means a requital. Shallum was the son of Jabesh, and he became the sixteenth king of Israel to reign over the ten northern tribes. He acquired kingship by assassinating king Zachariah. Just as he gained the kingship by assassinating his predecessor, he too forfeited the kingship by being assassinated himself. Menahem assassinated Shallum one month after assuming the kinship.
