On further reflection in Divrei Ha'yamim the mefarshim say that asir was actually Yechonya's son and his son was Shaltiel who had Pedaya and Zerubavel was actually the son of Pedaya. However Zerubavel is called the son of Shaltiel because of the rule that "grand children are considered like children".
Still the question remains, why mention Zerubavel as the son of Shaltiel specifically and how does the Rambam bring this as a proof that Yechonya did Teshuva?
