Neri

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Contracted from Neriah, "Jehovah is my lamp"; son of Melchi, and father of Salathiel (Luke 3:27). Of Nathan's line; but when Jeconiah's issue failed Salathiel succeeded as heir of Solomon's throne, and is therefore reckoned in the genealogy as Jeconiah's son, as inheriting his status and prerogatives (1 Chronicles 3:17; Matthew 1:12).
