Salathiel

Salathiel [N] [H] [S]

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 (Compare  Jeremiah 22:30 ).
