Male · 2 cross references

This Shechaniah entry refers to a later Davidic descendant whose sons continue the royal genealogy in Chronicles, not to the post-exilic family associated with Ezra and Nehemiah. He belongs to the preserved line of David after exile. First appears in 1 Chr 3:21.1

AI summary: This Shechaniah matters because his cross references place him in the extended continuation of David's house beyond the monarchy's visible collapse. Even in list form, the entry helps maintain the thread of royal descent and future hope. Taken together, the material presents this Shechaniah as a Davidic genealogical figure in the post-exilic memory of the royal line.1
