Editing Shalman (Bible)

{{Short description|King that is mentioned in Hosea 10:14}}
'''Shalman''' ({{langx|he|{{Script/Hebrew|שַׁלְמַן}}}} ''Šalman'') is an individual, presumably a king, that is mentioned in Hosea 10:14 as having sacked the city of Beth-Arbel.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hosea 10:14 Commentaries: Therefore a tumult will arise among your people, And all your fortresses will be destroyed, As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle, When mothers were dashed in pieces with their children. |url=https://biblehub.com/commentaries/hosea/10-14.htm |access-date=2024-06-24 |website=biblehub.com}}</ref> He is usually identified with the [[Kings of Assyria|Assyrian king]]s [[Shalmaneser II]] (by [[Archibald Sayce]]) or [[Shalmaneser IV|IV]] (by [[François Lenormant]]).

[[Eberhard Schrader]] argued that rather than Shalmaneser, Shalman was probably [[Salmanu]], a king of [[Moab]] mentioned in an inscription of [[Tiglath-Pileser III]].
