jeberechiah in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
In Septuagint and Vulgate Berechiah (Isaiah 8:2), father of Zechariah in Ahaz' reign. The same names occur later, Zechariah 1:1. Josephus mentions another Zachariah, son of Baruch, slain by the Jews in the temple shortly before the last siege (B. J., 4:5, section 4). If Berechiah was father of the house, not of the individuals, the "Zachariah son of Baruch" in Matthew 23:35 (where "Zechariah the son of Jehoiada,"2 Chronicles 24:20, in the individual sense is meant) may be identical with Zechariah, son of Je (=Jah) berechiah (Isaiah 8:2).
