Shealtiel in Wikipedia
Shealtiel (Hebrew: שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל, Shə’altî’ēl) or Greek-derived
variant Salathiel (Greek: Σαλαθιηλ, Salăthiēl) is a
significant but problematic member in the genealogies of the
kings of Judah, all of whom belong to the Davidic Dynasty,
being the descendants of King David through his son King
Solomon.
In Hebrew, the name Shealtiel means, Shə’altî ’Ēl, "I asked El
(for this child)". The name acknowledges that the son is an
answer to the parents' prayer to God (El) to help them
conceive and birth a child. Many Hebrew names similarly
express the importance of, difficulty of, and thankfulness for
a successful pregnancy.
In the Deuterocanonical apocalyptic work 2 Esdras, the author
claims to be "Ezra, who is also called Shealtiel" (3:1). For
this reason, this work is also sometimes known as Ezra
Shealtiel. However, the priestly prophet Ezra could not be the
same Shealtiel of the royal genealogies, since his own lineage
is given in Book of Ezra 7:1, and in 2 Esdras 1:1 (Latin
version), which agree in making him the son of Seraiah, and a
Levite...
