In Luke

The post-exilic governor who rebuilt the temple, buried in the middle of Luke's genealogy (3:27) between the exile and the more familiar names. Josephus (spelling it 'Zorobabel') preserves the actual Persian decree funding the rebuilding out of the royal treasury, the bureaucratic paper trail behind the one line in Luke's list.
