Zachariah in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE

zak-a-ri'-a (Zacharias; the King James Version, Zacharias): (1) The son of Barachiah, who, Jesus says, was slain between the temple and the altar (Mt 23:35; Lk 11:51). The allusion seems to be to the murder of Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada (2 Ch 24:20 ff). In this case "Barachiah" would seem to be a gloss which has crept into the text through confusion with the name of the father of the prophet Zechariah, BERECHIAH (which see). (2) See ZECHARIAH.
