Shallum (son of Kore)
살룸 (고레의 아들)
Named at 1 Chronicles 9:17 among “The gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brothers”, and, in WEB’s parentheses, “Shallum was the chief”. 9:19 says, “Shallum was the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent.” 9:31 names “Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite”. The Korean Revised Version reads 9:17 살룸은 그 두목이라 (Shallum was the chief) without parentheses, and at 9:19 has Shallum with his brothers, the sons of Korah, over the work of the service, keeping the doors of the tabernacle (고레의 아들 살룸과 그 종족 형제 곧 고라의 자손이 수종드는 일을 맡아 성막 문들을 지켰으니).

1 Chronicles 9:2–22 and Nehemiah 11:3–19 each name the children of Judah and of Benjamin who lived in Jerusalem, the priests, the Levites and the gatekeepers. 1 Chronicles 9:9 gives “nine hundred fifty-six”, 9:13 “one thousand seven hundred sixty” and 9:22 “two hundred twelve” gatekeepers; Nehemiah 11:8 gives “nine hundred twenty-eight”, 11:12–14 “eight hundred twenty-two”, “two hundred forty-two” and “one hundred twenty-eight”, and 11:19 “one hundred seventy-two”. 1 Chronicles 9:11 names Azariah and Nehemiah 11:11 names Seraiah, each “the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of God’s house” (the Korean Revised Version sets 하나님의 전을 맡은 자, who had charge of God’s house, before each name). The text does not say how the two registers stand to each other, or whether Azariah and Seraiah are one man. This collection records each register as its book gives it, joins only the men given the same father and son, does not relate or reconcile the numbers of the two registers, and decides nothing.
