Which two historical figures does Matthew mention as ancestors of Jesus Christ?

Both Matthew and Luke provide genealogies back through Jesus' earthly father Joseph, showing that Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, and King David were legal ancestors of Jesus. Zorobabel was the great leader who led the Jews back from the Babylonian Exile, so descent from him would have been a sign of greatness. While Luke says that the father of Salathiel was called Neri, Matthew says that the father of Salathiel was called Jechonias. Jews also believed that the hoped-for messiah would be descended from David.
Matthew goes further than Luke, having Jesus and Zorobabel descended from David through the line of Judahite kings, while Luke has them descended from David through a line of commoners. Both mention the legendary patriarch, Abraham.

Except for the one-phrase mention in "The Devil and Daniel Webster", there is no historical record of him. Even the Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't mention him. Nobody online has even bothered to make up any kind of fictional biography of him other than to say "HE WAS A REVEREND." As far as we can tell from the research, he didn't exist.

Why does Matthew not mention the shepherds in Luke chapter 2?
The nativity accounts in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke are entirely different from each other, and John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus), says that neither of the nativity stories contains any historical truth. Matthew's Gospel was written before that of Luke, so its author could have known nothing of what would be written in Luke as few years later.
