or (Heb. Shealtiel', שְׁאִלְתַּיאֵל , asked of God; Anglicized thus in the A.V. at Ezra 3:2; Ezra 3:8; Ezra 5:2; Nehemiah 12:1; Haggai 1:1; but "Salathiel" at 1 Chronicles 3:17; also in the contracted form Shaltiel', שַׁלְתַּיאֵל, "Shealtiel," Haggai 1:12; Haggai 1:14; Haggai 2:2; Sept., Apocrypha, Josephus, and N. Test., Σαλαθιήλ; "Salathiel," 1 Esdras 5:5; 1 Esdras 5:48; 1 Esdras 5:56; 1 Esdras 6:2; 2 Esdras 5:16; Matthew 1:12; Luke 3:27), the son of Jechoniah, or Jehoiachin, king of Judah, and father of Zorobabel, according to Matthew 1:12, but son of Neri (Neriah) and father of Zorobabel (Zerubbabel) according to Luke 3:27; while the genealogy in 1 Chronicles 3:17-19 leaves it doubtful whether he is the son of Assir or Jechoniah, and makes Zerubbabel his nephew. The truth seems to be that he was the son of the captive prince Jechoniah, or Jehoiachin (for the prophecy in Jeremiah 22:30 seems only to mean that he should have no successor on the throne), by a daughter of Neri, or Neriah, of the private line of David; and that having himself no heir, he adopted his nephew Zerubbabel, or perhaps was the father of this last by his deceased brother's widow. B.C. cir. 580. (See GENEALOGY OF CHRIST).
