STEPBible TIPNR
Shealtiel, mentioned in several passages in the Old Testament (1Ch 3:17; Ezr.3.2,8; 5.2; Neh 12:1; Hag.1.1,12,14; 2.2,23; Mat 1:12), was a descendant of King David and the father of Peaish who was father of Zerubbabel, a prominent figure in the rebuilding of the temple after the Babylonian exile. Shealtiel is identified as the son of Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin), the king of Judah who was taken into captivity by the Babylonians. In the genealogies of 1 Chronicles and Matthew, Shealtiel is listed as a direct ancestor of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the connection between the Davidic line and the Messiah. During the early stages of the return from exile, Shealtiel's son Zerubbabel was appointed as the governor of Judah and played a key role in rebuilding the altar and laying the foundation of the temple. The prophets Haggai and Zechariah also mention Shealtiel and Zerubbabel as important figures in the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. The frequent mention of Shealtiel in connection with Zerubbabel highlights his significance in the lineage of David and the continuity of God's plan for His people.
