זְרֻבָּבֶל

Zerubbabel
Neviim · c. 1000-420 BCE

זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל הוא דמות מקראית אשר היה ראש הגולה, אחד ממנהיגי שיבת ציון שלאחר חורבן בית המקדש הראשון, אשר בנה את בית המקדש השני בשנת 516 לפנה"ס.

Zerubbabel or Zorobabel was, according to the Hebrew Bible, a governor of the Achaemenid Empire's province of Yehud Medinata and the grandson of Jeconiah, penultimate king of Judah. He is not documented in extra-biblical documents, and is considered by Sarah Schulz of the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg as historically plausible, but probably not an actual governor of the province, much like Nehemiah.
