5. One of the seven sons of King Jehoshaphat of Judah (872–848 BC) and the brother of Jehoram who became sole regent (853–841 BC) after his father’s death (2 Chr 21:1-2).
6. Forefather of 372 descendants who returned with Zerubbabel to Judah following the exile (Ezr 2:4; Neh 7:9). Later, 81 members of Shephatiah’s house accompanied Ezra back to Palestine during the reign of King Artaxerxes I of Persia (464–424 BC; Ezr 8:8).

Annoyed with Jeremiah’s prophecies of doom for Jerusalem, Shephatiah (with Gedaliah, Jucal, and Pashhur) tried to put him to death. With Zedekiah’s permission, they hoped to achieve their ends by imprisoning Jeremiah in a cistern (Jer 38:1).
