Biblical character From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hazzelelponi[1] (Hebrew: הַצְּלֶלְפּוֹנִי Haṣṣəlelpōnī, "the shade-facing")[2] is a biblical woman mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4:3. Tzelafon was named after her.
Hazzelelponi was a daughter of a man named Etam and thus a descendant of Judah.
She was also a sister of Jezreel, Ishma and Idbash, of the tribe of Judah.
Under the name Zelelponith, she is referred to in rabbinical sources—Midrash Numbers Rabbah Naso 10 and Bava Batra 91a[3]—as being the wife of Manoah and mother of Samson, the famous judge.
According to the ancient Rabbinic tradition, Hazzelelponi was married to Manoah. She also had a daughter called Nishyan or Nashyan.[4][5]
