About Meshullam
Meshullam is mentioned in the list of Benjamites who lived in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (1Ch.9.8). He was the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah. This Meshullam is listed separately from the Meshullam mentioned in 1Ch.9.7, indicating that they were two different individuals from the tribe of Benjamin.
