Jump to: Hitchcock's • Smith's • ISBE • Easton's • Concordance • Thesaurus • Greek • Hebrew • Library • Subtopics • Terms Topical Encyclopedia Shealtiel is a biblical figure mentioned primarily in the genealogies of the Old and New Testaments. He is recognized as an important link in the lineage of Jesus Christ, as well as a significant figure in the post-exilic period of Israel's history.Name and Meaning The name Shealtiel (Hebrew: שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל, She’altiel) is often interpreted to mean "I have asked of God" or "borrowed from God." This name reflects a common biblical theme of divine intervention and providence in the lives of individuals. Genealogical Significance Shealtiel is listed as the son of Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin), the king of Judah, in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles 3:17 and Matthew 1:12. However, in the genealogy presented in Luke 3:27, Shealtiel is identified as the son of Neri. This apparent discrepancy has been the subject of much scholarly discussion, with some suggesting that Shealtiel may have been the legal son of Jeconiah through levirate marriage or adoption, while being the biological son of Neri. Role in the Post-Exilic Period Shealtiel is most prominently known as the father of Zerubbabel, who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. In the book of Ezra, Shealtiel is mentioned as the father of Zerubbabel, who is described as a leader of the first group of Jews returning from Babylonian captivity (Ezra 3:2, 3:8, 5:2). Zerubbabel's leadership and efforts in the reconstruction of the Temple are seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to restore Israel. Biblical References · 1 Chronicles 3:17-19 : "The descendants of Jeconiah the captive: Shealtiel his son, and the sons of Shealtiel: Zerubbabel, Meshullam, and Hananiah, also Shelomith their sister." · Ezra 3:2 : "Then Jeshua son of Jozadak and his fellow priests, along with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his associates, began to build the altar of the God of Israel to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God." · Haggai 1:1 : "In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest." Theological Implications Shealtiel's inclusion in the genealogies of Jesus Christ underscores the fulfillment of God's covenant promises through the Davidic line. Despite the challenges faced by the exiled community, the continuity of David's lineage through Shealtiel and Zerubbabel highlights God's faithfulness in preserving the line that would ultimately lead to the Messiah. This connection is emphasized in the Gospel of Matthew, which traces Jesus' legal right to the throne of David through Joseph, His earthly father, who is a descendant of Shealtiel. Historical Context Shealtiel lived during a tumultuous period in Jewish history, marked by the Babylonian exile and the subsequent return to Jerusalem. His son Zerubbabel's leadership in the rebuilding of the Temple was a pivotal moment in the restoration of Jewish worship and identity. The mention of Shealtiel in the prophetic books of Haggai and Zechariah further emphasizes the hope and renewal associated with this era. In summary, Shealtiel serves as a vital link in the biblical narrative, connecting the royal lineage of David to the post-exilic restoration and ultimately to the birth of Jesus Christ. His account is a testament to God's sovereignty and faithfulness throughout the history of Israel.
