REHUM

1. One of the 12 Jewish leaders who returned from captivity with Zerubbabel (Ezr 2:2; Neh 7:7, where “Nehum” is apparently a copyist’s error). See Nehum.

2. Persian commander who, with Shimshai the scribe, wrote to Artaxerxes I, complaining of the Jews’ temple-rebuilding project and promising dire consequences should the project be completed. The king’s response halted construction until the second year of Darius’s reign (Ezr 4:8-23).

3. Levite identified as Bani’s son, who helped repair the Jerusalem wall under Nehemiah’s direction (Neh 3:17).

4. Leader who set his seal on Ezra’s covenant (Neh 10:25).

5. Priest who accompanied Zerubbabel (Neh 12:3); elsewhere he was called Harim (see NLT mg). See Harim #5.
