Meaning: the Lord that judges · Male · 2 cross references
This Shephatiah entry refers to a returnee family or household group in Ezra and Nehemiah, not to David's son of the same name. It belongs to the post-exilic community remembered through named family participation. First appears in Ezra 2:57.1
AI summary: This Shephatiah matters because the cross references place the name in the returnee lists that define who came back and helped repopulate the restored community. The distinction from David's son is important, since the same name functions very differently here. Taken together, the material presents this Shephatiah as a household group within the social fabric of restoration.1
