Shallum of Israel (Hebrew: שלום בן יבש), name meaning "retribution", was the king of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, and the son of Jabesh.
Originally a captain in the army of King Zechariah, Shallum "conspired against Zechariah, and smote him before the people; and slew him, and reigned in his stead" (2 Kings 15:10). He reigned only "a month of days in Samaria" (2 Kings 15:13) before Menahem—another captain from Zechariah's army—rose up and put Shallum to death (2 Kings 15:14–17). Menahem then became king in Shallum's stead.
William F. Albright has dated his reign to 745 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the date 752 BC.[1]
