   In Matthew 1:12, the accusative singular masculine forms occur in the statements linking Jechoniah, Salathiel, and Zerubbabel; the APB renders, “Jechoniah begot Shealtiel. Shealtiel then begot Zerubbabel.” In Luke 3:27, the genitive singular masculine form appears in the repeated “son of” sequence between Zerubbabel and Neri; the APB renders “the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Shealtiel” in both genealogical verses, within begetting language in Matthew 1:12 and a repeated “son of” sequence in Luke 3:27. These clauses establish the genealogical setting rather than a separate English definition.
