Context: Shealtiel is a significant figure in the post-exilic period of Israel's history. He is mentioned in the genealogies of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, highlighting his importance in the Davidic line. In the Old Testament, Shealtiel is identified as the son of Jeconiah, the king of Judah who was taken into Babylonian captivity.

In the New Testament, Shealtiel is listed in the genealogies of Jesus in both the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:12) and the Gospel of Luke (Luke 3:27). These genealogies underscore his role in the lineage of the Messiah, connecting the royal line of David through the Babylonian exile to the birth of Jesus.

Shealtiel's son, Zerubbabel, played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem after the return from exile, as recorded in the books of Ezra and Haggai. This connection further emphasizes Shealtiel's significance in the restoration of Israel and the fulfillment of God's promises to David.
