“... There is a further difference in Matthew’s text in that Zechariah is called the son of Barachiah. There are three Zechariahs mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures: Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah (Isaiah 8:2), rendered in the Septuagint as “son of Barachias”; the person already mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:20-22; and the third the eleventh of the Twelve Minor Prophets, in the Book of Zechariah bearing the full title: “Zechariah the son of Berechiah the son of Iddo” (Zechariah 1:1).
