Zechariah

Meaning: same as Zachariah · Male · 7 cross references

This Zechariah entry refers to the Levite associated with the ark's procession and later gatekeeping lines, not the prophet Zechariah or the many other biblical figures with the same name. He belongs to the worshiping personnel around David's ordered service. First appears in 1 Chr 9:21.1

AI summary: This Zechariah matters because the cross references place him within the careful musical and guarding arrangements that surround the ark's movement and later temple service. His appearances show how David's restoration of worship depended on named Levites carrying precise responsibilities rather than generic crowds. Though not a major narrative figure, he stands inside an important moment of liturgical ordering. Taken together, the material presents this Zechariah as a Levite whose service contributes to the reverent shaping of Israel's worship life.1
