shil´hı̄ ( שׁלחי , shilḥı̄ ): Father of Jehoshaphat's mother ( 1 Kings 22:42 = 2 Chronicles 20:31; Codex Vaticanus and Codex Alexandrinus in 2 Chronicles, Σαλεί , Saleı́ , Codex Vaticanus in 1 Kings, Σεμεεί , Semeeı́ ; Codex Alexandrinus in 1 Kings, Σαλαλά , Salalá ; Lucian in both, Σελεεί , Seleeı́ ). Cheyne (Encyclopaedia Biblica , article "Shilhi") ventures the supposition that "Shilhi" is a misreading for "Shilhim" (Joshua 15:32 ), and is therefore the name of place rather than that of a person; he holds it to be the name of the birthplace of Azubah, the king's mother.
