Pelatiah is listed in the genealogy of King Solomon's descendants in 1 Chronicles 3:21. He is mentioned as one of the sons of Hananiah, along with his brother Jeshaiah. Hananiah was a descendant of Solomon through the line of King Jehoiachin. This genealogy traces the royal line of Judah after the Babylonian exile, suggesting that Pelatiah lived in the post-exilic period.
