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."
