Sala

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(sprout). A descendant of Shem ({vi 259;279-282}Gen. 10:24; 11:12-15; Luke 3:35). Shelah ({vi 10271;10277}1 Chron. 1:18,24).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Son or grandson of Jehoiachin or Jeconiah, king of Judah (1 Chron. 3:17; {vi 12100;12106}Ezra 3:2, 8; Ezra 5:2; Neh. 12:1; {vi 22842;22853;22855}Hag. 1:1,12,14; {vi 22858;22879}Hag. 2:2,23; Matt. 1:12).

In Luke 3:27, Salathiel is called the son of Neri, and this is supposed to be the true descent, and that Salathiel was the heir of Jehoiachin. The royal line would thus revert from the descendants of Solomon (Jer. 22:30), to those of David through Nathan.
