RHESA.A son of Zerubbabel (Luk_3:27).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Son of Zerubbabel in Christ's genealogy (Luk_3:27). Lord A. Hervey conjectures Rhesa to be no person, but the title of Zerubbabel, rosh, i.e. "prince," thereby removing a difficulty in reconciling Matthew's with Luke's genealogy.

Rhesa
( ῾Ρησά) is a name given in the genealogy of Christ (Luk_3:27) as that of a son of Zorobabel and father of Joanna, being evidently the same with RIPHAIAH SEE RIPHAIAH (q.v.), given in the Old. Test. (1Ch_3:19-21) as the son of Zerubbabel and father of Hananiah. Lord Hervey fancifully conjectures that Rhesa is no person, but merely the title Rosh, i.e. prince, originally attached to the name of Zerubbabel, and gradually introduced as an independent name into the genealogy (Genealogies, etc., p. 111, 114, 356-360).
