About Pelatiah

Pelatiah is listed in the genealogy of King Solomon's descendants in 1Ch.3.21. He is mentioned as one of the sons of Hananiah, along with his brother Jeshaiah. Hananiah was a descendant of Solomon through the line of King Jehoiachin. This genealogy traces the royal line of Judah after the Babylonian exile, suggesting that Pelatiah lived in the post-exilic period.
