Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy
Shuthelah was an Ephraimite descendant, the son of Zabad, mentioned in the genealogy of Ephraim.
- A man from the tribe of Ephraim living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.21;
- only referred to as Shuthelah שׁוּתֶלַח;
- a son of Zabad זָבָד.
Shuthelah is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 7:21 as a descendant of Ephraim, specifically the son of Zabad. This genealogy traces the lineage of the tribe of Ephraim, focusing on the descendants of Ephraim's sons Shuthelah, Bered, Tahath, and Eladah. In this particular verse, Shuthelah is listed as the son of Zabad, who was likely a later descendant of the earlier Shuthelah mentioned in the same genealogy (1 Chronicles 7:20). The passage goes on to describe a conflict between the Ephraimites and the men of Gath, resulting in the death of some of Ephraim's descendants. However, no further details about this specific Shuthelah's life or role are provided in the text.
