Salathiel: Whom I asked of God, the son of Jeconiah
(Matthew 1:12; 1 Chronicles 3:17) also called
the son of Neri
(Luke 3:27) The probable explanation of the apparent
discrepancy is that he was the son of Neri, the descendant of Nathan,
and thus heir to the throne of David on the death of Jeconiah (comp.)
(Jeremiah 22:30)
