Även känd som: Shallum
Siha (also spelled Siaha) was the ancestor of a family of temple servants (Nethinim) who returned from the Babylonian exile to Jerusalem. His descendants are mentioned among those who served at the temple after its rebuilding. Although he is a lesser-known biblical figure, his mention shows that temple service was restored with great accuracy after the exile.
