 There is conflicting text in the Hebrew Bible in , which lists Zerubbabel as the son of Shealtiel's brother, Pedaiah (while the Greek Septuagint lists Zerubbabel as the son of Shealtiel).Though both genealogies of Jesus list Zerubbabel as the son of Shealtiel, they differ as to Shealtiel's paternity with agreeing with 1 Chronicles that Jeconiah was Shealtiel's father, while lists Shealtiel's father as an unknown man named Neri from the line of David's son Nathan.The author of the Deuterocanonical apocalyptic work 2 Esdras describes himself as "I, Salathiel, who am also called Ezra" ().
