Zechariah

Meaning: same as Zachariah · Male · 1 cross reference

This Zechariah entry refers to one of Jehoshaphat's sons in 2 Chronicles 21:2, not to the prophet, priests, or other namesakes elsewhere. He belongs to the royal house of Judah before fraternal violence tears it apart. First appears in 2 Chr 21:2.1

AI summary: This Zechariah matters because his single cross reference preserves the wider family context of Judah's monarchy and the sons later endangered by dynastic ambition. The entry adds sobering domestic texture to the tragedy that follows under Jehoram. Taken together, the material presents this Zechariah as a royal son in Judah's troubled house.1
