About Zechariah
Zechariah was one of the sons of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. His brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Michael, and Shephatiah. Jehoshaphat gave his sons many gifts of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, along with fortified cities in Judah. However, he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, Zechariah's eldest brother, because he was the firstborn.
