From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Salathiel
      whom I asked of God, the son of Jeconiah (Matt. 1:12; 1 Chr.
      3:17); also called the son of Neri (Luke 3:27). The probable
      explanation of the apparent discrepancy is that he was the son
      of Neri, the descendant of Nathan, and thus heir to the throne
      of David on the death of Jeconiah (comp. Jer. 22:30).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shealtiel
      asked for of God, father of Zerubbabel (Ezra 3:2, 8; Neh. 12:1).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shual, The land of
      land of the fox, a district in the tribe of Benjamin (1 Sam.
      13:17); possibly the same as Shalim (9:4), in the neighbourhood
      of Shaalabbin (Josh. 19:42).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Salathiel, asked or lent of God
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
