Contracted from Neriah, "Jehovah is my lamp"; son of Melchi, and father of Salathiel (Luk_3:27). Of Nathan's line; but when Jeconiah's issue failed Salathiel succeeded as heir of Solomon's throne, and is therefore reckoned in the genealogy as Jeconiah's son, as inheriting his status and prerogatives (1Ch_3:17; Mat_1:12).
