etymology
The Hebrew personal name שַׁלּוּם šallûm "Schallum" is the short form of a verb sentence name whose subject (and at the same time theophoric element) has failed. Its predicate is derived from the verb rootשׁלם šlm ab, whose meaning in the pi''el is “replace”. The name can therefore be translated as "(God) has replaced". The Septuagint gives the name as Σελλουμ Sellum , the Vulgate as Sellum .
Biblical narration
According to the report in 2 Kings 15 EU , Shallum, son of Jabesh, came to power by overthrowing Zechariah after he had ruled for only six months. But also Schallum was king in Samaria for only one month before he was overthrown and murdered by Menahem , the son of Gadi.
