Hasadiah

Hasadiah (meaning favored by Jehovah or the mercy of the LORD) was one of the sons of Pedaiah, listed in the post-exilic royal genealogy of 1 Chronicles 3:20 as a descendant of Zerubbabel and of the line of David. He represents the continuation of the Davidic line in the Persian period, several generations after the return from Babylon. The careful recording of these post-exilic Davidic descendants in Chronicles reflects the ongoing messianic hope that a son of David would eventually reign over a restored Israel.
