Encyclopedic overview
Zechariah (/zɛkəˈraɪ.ə/; Hebrew: זְכַרְיָה, romanized: Zəḵaryā; Arabic: زكريّا, romanized: Zakaryā; Biblical Greek: Ζαχαρίας Latin: Zacharias) was a person in the Hebrew Bible traditionally considered the author of the Book of Zechariah, the eleventh of the Twelve Minor Prophets.
Zechariah 1:1 depicts the eponymous character as the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo. The Book of Ezra instead names Zechariah as the son of Iddo, Targum Lamentations 2:20 names this Zechariah as a son of Iddo, as does the book of Matthew 23:35. This is not the same person as Iddo the Seer, who lived during the reigns of Solomon, Rehoboam, and Abijah, and is most likely the Iddo mentioned in Ezra 8:17.
