Levite living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness
Shelomith (or Shelomoth), a Levite of the family of Izhar.
- A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at 1Ch.23.18;
- referred to as Shelomith שְׁלֹמִית, or Shelomoth שְׁלֹמוֹת;
- son of Izhar יִצְהָר;

Shelomith (or Shelomoth) was a Levite who belonged to the family of Izhar, son of Kohath. In 1 Chronicles 23:18, he is listed as the first of the sons of Izhar. Later, in 1 Chronicles 24:22, Shelomoth is mentioned twice as the head of the father's house of Izhar. This suggests that he was a prominent figure within the Izharite clan of the Levites during the time of King David's organization of the Levitical duties.
