Ezra 1:8
Shesh-bazzar, the prince of Judah—that is, Zerubbabel, son of Salathiel (compare Ezra 3:8; Ezra 5:16). He was born in Babylon, and called by his family Zerubbabel, that is, stranger or exile in Babylon. Shesh-bazzar, signifying "fire-worshipper," was the name given him at court, as other names were given to Daniel and his friends. He was recognized among the exiles as hereditary prince of Judah.
