Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

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 Neh 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.
