STEPBible TIPNR
Shelemiah was a priest during the time of Nehemiah. In Neh 13:13, he is mentioned as one of the four men appointed by Nehemiah to be in charge of the storehouses for the tithes, offerings, and dedicated things brought to the temple. Nehemiah chose Shelemiah and the others because they were considered trustworthy. Their role was to ensure the proper distribution of resources among the priests and Levites.
