Shelemiah was a priest who lived during the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah. He was the father of Jehucal (or Jucal), who was one of the officials sent by Zedekiah to ask Jeremiah to pray for the people (Jeremiah 37:3). Later, Jehucal was among the officials who accused Jeremiah of discouraging the soldiers and sought to have him put to death (Jeremiah 38:1-4). Shelemiah's role is limited to being mentioned as Jehucal's father.
