One of seven, apparently sons of Neri, of Nathan's line (as was Salathiel, ), introduced into the royal line when Jehoiachin had no child who succeeded to the throne (-18). Jeconiah's son Assir left a daughter probably, who according to the law of heiresses (; -9) married a man of a family of her paternal tribe, namely, Neri descended from Nathan, David's son. Shealtiel, Malchiram, etc., sprang from this marriage.
