	Zerubbabel - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		That Zerubbabel is said in the New Testament to be the son of Shealtiel the son of Neri instead of Jeconiah may be accounted for on the supposition that Shealtiel was the legal heir or adopted son of Jeconiah, who according to Jeremiah 36:30 was apparently to die childless.
		Zerubbabel, having demonstrated that truth was the mightiest of all, was called the king's "cousin," and was granted by him permission to go up to Jerusalem and to build the temple.
		Zerubbabel was also made a governor of Jerusalem, and performed also the duties of the tirshatha, an official who was probably the Persian collector of taxes.

	Zerubbabel
		Zerubbabel (Hebrew[?] for "Seed of Babylon"), is a Biblical figure who is an important figure in the Book of Ezra, also being mentioned in the Books of Haggai, Matthew, and 1 Chronicles[?].
		Zerubbabel was a direct descendant of Jehoiachin, the second to last King of Judah, and, according to Ezra, in the first year of Cyrus, King of Persia, he led the first band of Jews, numbering 42,360, who returned from the Babylonian Captivity[?].
		Zerubbabel was also noted for laying the foundation of the Second Temple in Jerusalem the next year.

	Zerubbabel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If the name Zerubbabel is Hebrew, it likely contracts, Zərua‘ Bāvel (Hebrew: זְרוּעַ בָּבֶל), meaning "the one sown of Babylon", and referring to a child conceived and born in Babylon; or perhaps even, Zərûy Bāvel (Hebrew: זְרוּי בָּבֶל), meaning, "the winnowed of Babylon", in the sense of being exiled in Babylon.
		Zerubbabel is understood as the legal successor of Shealtiel, with Zerubbabel's title paralleling the Highpriest Jeshua's title, "son of Jozadak", that emphasizes Jeshua's rightful claim to the dynasty of highpriests, descending from Aaron.
		In the New Testament, Zerubbabel is mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew's version of the Genealogy of Jesus, as "Zorobabel"); he is alternately said to be the son of Shealtiel (or Salathiel), according to Matthew.

		Zerubbabel, whose name means “seed of Babylon,” was a Jew who was born in Babylon.
		Whether Shealtiel or Pedaiah was Zerubbabel’s biological father, it is clear that Zerubbabel was a descendant of King David and he was viewed by the people of Israel as a possible candidate for leading them back to a position of power.
		Zerubbabel was appointed governor, and probably by 529 BC had started work on the reconstruction of the Jerusalem temple.

	Shealtiel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nevertheless several Biblical texts use the phrase "Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel", perhaps to emphasize Zerubbabel's inheritance of Shealtiel's royal claim to the throne, if the Davidic throne were restored to Judah.
		The genealogy tables of the Gospels, Matthew (1:1-16) and Luke (3:23-38), agree with the Hebrew Biblical texts that declare Shealtiel (not Pedaiah) is the father of Zerubbabel.
		The blood relationship of Zerubbabel is with Pedaiah, and through Pedaiah with Pedaiah's mother, and through this mother with Neri.

		Zerubbabel was placed in charge of the returning Jews and given the title "governor of Judah." He allowed the people about 14 months to get settled, build their homes and plant crops.
		Haggai told Zerubbabel, then the governor of Judah, and Joshua, the High Priest, that the reason for the people's inadequate harvests, their hunger, thirst and cold was that Yahweh was displeased with them for failing to restore His Holy House (Haggai 1:4).
		Zerubbabel, presumably the leader of the project, is nowhere mentioned in the details of the Temple's completion and dedication.

		In that case it might be supposed that the nephew took a prominent part in the reorganization of the community and shortly afterward succeeded to the governorship.
		In the second month of the second year of the return they laid the foundation of the Temple, but the opposition of "the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin" (either descendants of Jews who had not gone into exile or interlopers who showed hostility to the returning exiles) caused a delay of seventeen years.
		Nothing further is certainly known of Zerubbabel, although a Jewish tradition says that he returned to Babylon and died there.

		These two Zerubbabels were therefore cousins but the Zerubbabel that returned was the son of Shealtiel, an adopted son of Jeconiah (on which, see the relevant article).
		The labelling of both Jeshua and Zerubbabel as the two anointed of the Lord (Zech 4:11-14) with promises and instructions concerning the re-establishing and rebuilding of the Temple (Zech 4:1-10).
		There’s no conclusive evidence to indicate that Zerubbabel ever took the title of ‘king’ in Jerusalem, but the promise concerned the eternal purpose of the Lord to bring the Messiah - God’s eternal Anointed King, the One who is both His authority and representation - through Zerubbabel’s family line at a future date.

		In the second message, Haggai will assure Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the remnant of the people though their sin in delaying the restoration of the temple had a negative effect on their lives, now that they are restoring the temple the Lord will bless them and give success in what they are doing.
		In the third message, Haggai assures Zerubbabel that as a reward for his pious zeal and activity, he will be a favorite of heaven and one of the ancestors of Messiah the Prince whose kingdom will be set in the ruins of all opposing powers.
		Zerubbabel is concerned about the community and its interests, about the neighboring nations, the revolutions of their governments, and the few and weak exiles and how the predicted changes will effect them.

		God's message to Zerubbabel is that the work he is engaged in, that of building the temple, will be accomplished not "by might nor by power"—that is, not by mere human strength or ability—but by God's Spirit (verse 6).
		If Zerubbabel was still in office at the temple's completion, then Zechariah 4:9's statement, "his hands shall also finish it," would certainly apply to him.
		On the other hand, if Zerubbabel was gone from office when the second temple was completed, then verse 9 most likely refers not to him at all but to a future figure fulfilling a similar office of whom Zerubbabel was a type.
