shḗ-naz´ar (שׁנאצּר, shen'accar):

A son of Jeconiah (Jehoiachin) and uncle of Zerubbabel (1 Chronicles 3:18, Codex Vaticanus and Codex Alexandrinus Σάνεσαρ, Sánesar; Lucian, Σάνασαρ, Sánasar; Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) Sennaser, Senneser). It is highly probable that Sheshbazzar (Ezra 1:8, Ezra 1:11), “the prince of Judah,” and Shenazzar are identical (so Meyer, Rothstein, etc.). The name is difficult; some suggest a corruption of שושבלאצר, shūshbalaccar, and as equivalent to Sin-usur, “Sin (the moon-god) protect.”
