He is identified as the son of Neri and an ancestor of Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The genealogy in Luke traces Jesus' lineage back to Adam, highlighting His human ancestry and connection to the Davidic line. The inclusion of Shealtiel in this genealogy emphasizes the continuity of God's plan and the fulfillment of the messianic promises through Jesus. However, the text does not provide any further details about Shealtiel's life or his specific role in the lineage.
