Description
Who was Shealtiel?
Shealtiel, mentioned in several passages in the Old Testament (1Ch.3.17; Ezr.3.2,8; 5.2; Neh.12.1; Hag.1.1,12,14; 2.2,23; Mat.1.12), was a descendant of King David and the father of Peaish who was father of Zerubbabel, a prominent figure in the rebuilding of the temple after the Babylonian exile. Shealtiel is identified as the son of Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin), the king of Judah who was taken into captivity by the Babylonians. In the genealogies of 1 Chronicles and Matthew, Shealtiel is listed as a direct ancestor of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the connection between the Davidic line and the Messiah. During the early stages of the return from exile, Shealtiel's son Zerubbabel was appointed as the governor of Judah and played a key role in rebuilding the altar and laying the foundation of the temple. The prophets Haggai and Zechariah also mention Shealtiel and Zerubbabel as important figures in the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. The frequent mention of Shealtiel in connection with Zerubbabel highlights his significance in the lineage of David and the continuity of God's plan for His people.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
