SALLU

1. Son of Meshullam and a Benjaminite, who resided in the city of Jerusalem during the postexilic period (1 Chr 9:7; Neh 11:7).

2. Levitical priest who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel following the Babylonian captivity (Neh 12:7). The Sallai mentioned in some translations of Nehemiah 12:20 is thought to be a variant spelling of Sallu.
