Salathiel (Hebrew: 'I asked God'); father of Zerubbabel in Jesus' genealogy
Salathiel is the Greek form of the Hebrew name meaning 'I asked God.' He appears in Jesus' genealogies as the father of Zerubbabel, the post-exilic governor who led the return from Babylon and the rebuilding of the temple. The name connects Jesus' lineage to the restoration period after the exile.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Identifies Salathiel in the genealogies of Jesus. Matthew 1:12 traces the line through the exile: 'After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah fathered Salathiel, and Salathiel fathered Zerubbabel.' Luke 3:27 includes him in the ascending genealogy: 'the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Salathiel.' The consistent cross-linguistic rendering shows this is a proper name tied to Israel's restoration history. Salathiel's inclusion in Jesus' genealogy links the Messiah to the promise of restoration after judgment—Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of Israel's hope for return and renewal. 3×
