Word Origin: Likely a contracted form of שַׁלְמַנְאֶסֶר (Shalmaneser), a name of Assyrian origin.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name שַׁלְמַן (Shalman), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: The name Shalman appears in the Hebrew Bible in Hosea 10:14, where it is associated with the destruction of Beth-arbel.

Context: Shalman is mentioned in the context of Hosea 10:14, which states, "the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be devastated—as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle—when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children." This passage suggests a historical event involving a violent conquest or destruction attributed to Shalman. The identity of Shalman is debated among scholars, with some suggesting it could be a reference to Shalmaneser III or Shalmaneser V, both of whom were Assyrian kings known for their military campaigns. The specific event at Beth-arbel is not detailed elsewhere in the biblical text, leaving its historical context somewhat obscure. The mention of Shalman serves as a warning of impending judgment and destruction due to Israel's unfaithfulness.
