The Scriptures harmony

Resolved. As to Zerubbabel. Jeremiah tells us, That Jehoiakim, alias Jeconiah, was brought forth of prison in ¹the 37. year of his Captivity, which was the 26. year of the Captivity of Judah; and did eat continually before the King of Babylon, until the day of his death: which admit to be two years after; then were 28. years of Judah's Captivity passed. Salathiel, alias ²Shealtiel, was the son of Jeconiah by succession: Salathiel begat Pedaiah, Pedaiah begat Zerubbabel.

1. 1Jer. 52. v. 31. 33, 34.
2. 2Matth 1. v. 12. 1 Chr. 3. v. 18, 19.

Now admit, that Salathiel immediately after he succeeded Jeconiah, begat Pedaiah, and that Pedaiah at 24. years also begat Zerubbabel, (which probably was not sooner) then was Zerubbabel 18. years old in the first year of King Cyrus, and 48. when the Temple was finished, in the reign of Darius Hystaspes.
