Conditional birth estimate
Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.
The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.
Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Shelomoth was a Levite who served as a treasurer during the reign of King David. In 1Ch 26:25-26, he is mentioned as a son of Zichri and a descendant of Eliezer, son of Moses. Shelomoth and his brothers were in charge of the treasuries for the dedicated gifts brought to the temple. These included the spoils of war dedicated by King David, the chiefs of the fathers' houses, and the commanders of the army (1Ch 26:26-28). Shelomoth's role was to oversee and manage these treasuries.
