Either of Zerubbabel; or of Meshullam, as is gathered from hence, that the sons of Hananiah (brother to Meshullam, 1Ch 3:19) are named 1Ch 3:21, and therefore those 1Ch 3:20 are presumed to be the sons of Meshullam. But that is no necessary inference, for Meshullam possibly had no sons, and therefore he passeth from him to Hananiah, 1Ch 3:21.

(20) These five sons form a second group of Zerubbabels children, probably by another wife. The v of union seems to have fallen out before the last name, Jushab-hesed.
The names of the last kings (Shallum, recompense; Zedekiah, Iah is righteousness) were parables of the judgment that should come to pass in Judah. (Comp. Isa. 10:22 : A consumption is doomed, overflowing with righteousness.) Those of the kindred and sons of Zerubbabel indicate the religious hopefulness of his people at the dawn of the restoration. His father is Pedaiah (Iah redeemeth) (see Isa. 51:11); his son Meshullam (devoted to God) recalls Isa. 42:19, where the pious remnant of Israel is so designated. The name Ohel, tent, is probably an abbreviation of Oholiah, or Oholiab, and refers to the sacred dwelling of Jehovah, which was for ages a tent. (See Isa. 33:20; Eze. 37:27.)
Jushab-hesed (mercy will be restored) is a prophecy of faith in Him who in wrath remembereth mercy (Hab. 3:2).
