Zachariah
Zachariah. [Zachari'ah] 1. Son and successor of Jeroboam 2, king of Israel. He reigned only six months in B.C. 773. Apparently there was an interregnum of eleven years before he reigned. He did that which was evil before the Lord. He was the fourth in the dynasty of Jehu, and this, according to the word of the Lord, was to be the extent of that house. It was then cut off by Shallum, who smote Zachariah, and reigned in his stead. 2 Kings 14:29; 2 Kings 15:8-12. 2. Father of Abi, or Abijah, wife of Ahaz, king of Judah. 2 Kings 18:2. He is called ZECHARIAH in 2 Chr. 29:1.
Zacharias
Zacharias. [Zachari'as] 1. Son of Barachias, who was slain between the temple and the altar. Matt. 23:35; Luke 11:51. This probably refers to Zecharias the son of Jehoiada, who was thus slain by order of the king. 2 Chr. 24:20-22; 'son' in one of the places may signify 'grandson.' As the Book of Chronicles closes the Hebrew Bible, this assassination of a righteous man may well be deemed the last as that of Abel was the first. 2. Priest of the course of Abia, and father of John the Baptist. Because of his unbelief he was dumb until the child was born. When his son was circumcised, his voice was restored, and being full of the Holy Ghost he praised God and prophesied. His friends proposed the same name for his son; but he objected, and the babe was named John, as directed by the angel. Luke 1.
