SHALMAN . This name occurs only in the clause ‘as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle’ ( Hosea 10:14 ). The person and place referred to are both unknown. Shalman may be a contraction for Shalmaneser , but it is impossible to say which, if any, of the four kings of Assyria bearing that name suits the connexion. It has been suggested that the Moabite king Salmanu (mentioned in Tiglath-pileser’s triumphal inscription, ii Rawl. 67, line 60) may be the person referred to by the prophet. The Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] version seems to think of the slaughter of Zalmunna by Gideon ( Judges 9:1-57 ). See also art. Beth-arbel.
