Son of Shealtiel and the father of Rhesa in Jesus's family tree according to Luke's gospel.
About Zerubbabel
A Jewish man born in Babylon. He returned to Palestine in 538 BC to be the Persian-appointed governor of Jerusalem. His name likely means “seed [offspring] of Babylon,” indicating his birthplace in Babylon.
There is some uncertainty about Zerubbabel’s biological father. Most biblical references identify Shealtiel as his father (Ezra 3:2, 8; 5:2; Nehemiah 12:1; Haggai 1:1, 12–14; 2:2, 23; Matthew 1:12–13; Luke 3:27), making Zerubbabel the grandson of King Jehoiachin of the Davidic line. However, 1 Chronicles 3:19 names Pedaiah, Shealtiel’s brother, as his father.
