Zerubbabel is a significant figure in Jewish history, known for leading the first group of Jews back from the Babylonian exile and for laying the foundation of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. His role is crucial in the post-exilic period, as he is a descendant of the Davidic line, which is important for the fulfillment of messianic prophecies. Zerubbabel's leadership is documented in the books of Ezra and Haggai, where he is portrayed as a governor of Judah. Shimei, on the other hand, is less prominent in the biblical narrative, and little is known about his life or role.<p><b>The children of Zerubbabel: Meshullam and Hananiah, their sister Shelomith,</b><br>Zerubbabel's children, Meshullam and Hananiah, continue the Davidic lineage, which is significant for the genealogical records that trace the line of David through to Jesus Christ, as seen in the genealogies of Matthew and Luke. Meshullam and Hananiah are not extensively detailed in the biblical text, but their mention underscores the continuation of the Davidic line. Shelomith, their sister, is also noted, which is somewhat unusual as genealogies typically focus on male descendants. This inclusion may highlight the importance of the family line or the role of women in maintaining the heritage and faith of the Jewish people. The mention of these descendants emphasizes the restoration and continuity of the Davidic line after the exile, which is a theme of hope and divine faithfulness in the biblical narrative.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/pedaiah.htm">Pedaiah</a></b><br>A descendant of King David, Pedaiah is noted as the father of Zerubbabel and Shimei.

Hence some expositors, ancient and modern, have assumed that the six persons named in <a href="/1_chronicles/3-18.htm" title="Malchiram also, and Pedaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah.">1Chronicles 3:18</a>, including Pedaiah, the father of Zerubbabel, were sons, not brothers of Salathiel (Shealtiel). In this way they bring Zerubbabel into the direct line of descent from Shealtiel. But our Hebrew text, though peculiar, can hardly mean this. It makes Zerubbabel the son of Pedaiah, and nephew of Shealtiel. If Zerubbabel, for reasons unknown, became adopted son and heir of Shealtiel, his uncle, the seemingly discordant statements of the different passages before us are all reconciled; while that of our text is the more exact.<p><span class= "bld">And</span> <span class= "bld">the sons of Zerubbabel.</span>--The Hebrew received text has "<span class= "ital">and the son.</span>" This is not to be altered, although some MSS. have the plural. (Comp. <a href="/1_chronicles/3-21.htm" title="And the sons of Hananiah; Pelatiah, and Jesaiah: the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, the sons of Shechaniah.">1Chronicles 3:21</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/3-23.htm" title="And the sons of Neariah; Elioenai, and Hezekiah, and Azrikam, three.">1Chronicles 3:23</a>.) This use of the singular is characteristic of the present genealogical fragment (see <a href="/context/1_chronicles/3-17.htm" title="And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel his son,">1Chronicles 3:17-18</a>), "And the sons of Jeconiah captive--Salathiel his son, and Malchiram," &c. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 19.</span> - Pedaiah is now given as the father of <span class="cmt_word">Zeraubabel</span> and <span class="cmt_word">Shimei</span>. Of the latter of these nothing else is known, unless Lord Hervey's theory below be correct. The former is a great name - its derivation perhaps doubtful. Strictly it signifies "scattered to Babylon," but (Gesenius, 'Lexicon') if the initial part of the word be strengthened into <span class="hebrew">זְרוַּע</span>, the signification might be "born in Babylon." We have in this name another instance of the treatment just commented on with regard to the name Salathiel in <a href="/luke/3-28.htm">Luke 3:28</a>. Zerubbabel is elsewhere invariably described as <span class="accented">son</span> of Salathiel, or Shealtiel; but as the genealogy of St. Luke gives the <span class="accented">natural</span> descent of Salathiel as from Neri, so does our genealogy in this one place give us the natural descent of Zerubbabel as from Pedaiah, one of Salathiel's brothers; while all other passages (<span class="accented">e.g.</span> <a href="/ezra/3-8.htm">Ezra 3:8</a>; <a href="/haggai/1-12.htm">Haggai 1:12</a>; <a href="/matthew/1-12.htm">Matthew 1:12</a>; <a href="/luke/3-27.htm">Luke 3:27</a>)give us that for which the genealogical table is chiefly designed, viz. the matter of <span class="accented">succession</span>, according to which Zerubbabel would be-shown as <span class="accented">son</span>, <span class="accented">i.e.</span> link of succession, following on Shealtiel. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 19.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Meshullam</span>.
