 Zerubbabel is recognized by God in the genealogy of Matthew as coming from the kingly line (Matt. 1:12). In Luke we also see that he is a descendant of David, not now through Solomon, but through his son Nathan (Luke 3:27). (Zerubbabel - Ezra 2:1-2 by N. Simon)
 Though a prince and heir we never see Zerubbabel pretending to the throne. He is described as the Sheshbazzar (Ezra 1:11); he was also apparently the Tirshatha, or governor, as Nehemiah was at a later date (Ezra 2:63). (Zerubbabel - Ezra 2:1-2 by N. Simon)
