shē´la (שׁלה, shēlāh, "petition"; Σάλα, Sála):

(1) The third and youngest son of Judah and the daughter of Shua the Canaanite (Genesis 38:2, Genesis 38:5, Genesis 38:11, Genesis 38:14, Genesis 38:26; Genesis 46:12; Numbers 26:20 (16); 1 Chronicles 2:3; 1 Chronicles 4:21). He gave his name to the family of the Shelanites (Numbers 26:20 (16)). Probably “the Shelanite” should be substituted for “the Shilonite” of Nehemiah 11:5; 1 Chronicles 9:5.
