Zachariah       remembered by the Lord. (1.) Son of Jeroboam II., king of       Israel. On the death of his father there was an interregnum of       ten years, at the end of which he succeeded to the throne, which       he occupied only six months, having been put to death by       Shallum, who usurped the throne. "He did that which was evil in       the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done" (2 Kings 14:29;       15:8-12). In him the dynasty of Jehu came to an end.                (2.) The father of Abi, who was the mother of Hezekiah (2       Kings 18:2).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Zechariah       Jehovah is renowned or remembered. (1.) A prophet of Judah, the       eleventh of the twelve minor prophets. Like Ezekiel, he was of       priestly extraction. He describes himself (1:1) as "the son of       Berechiah." In Ezra 5:1 and 6:14 he is called "the son of Iddo,"       who was properly his grandfather. His prophetical career began       in the second year of Darius (B.C. 520), about sixteen years       after the return of the first company from exile. He was       contemporary with Haggai (Ezra 5:1).                His book consists of two distinct parts, (1) chapters 1 to 8,       inclusive, and (2) 9 to the end. It begins with a preface       (1:1-6), which recalls the nation's past history, for the       purpose of presenting a solemn warning to the present       generation. Then follows a series of eight visions (1:7-6:8),       succeeding one another in one night, which may be regarded as a       symbolical history of Israel, intended to furnish consolation to       the returned exiles and stir up hope in their minds. The       symbolical action, the crowning of Joshua (6:9-15), describes       how the kingdoms of the world become the kingdom of God's       Christ.                Chapters 7 and 8, delivered two years later, are an answer to       the question whether the days of mourning for the destruction of       the city should be any longer kept, and an encouraging address       to the people, assuring them of God's presence and blessing.                The second part of the book (ch. 9-14) bears no date. It is       probable that a considerable interval separates it from the       first part. It consists of two burdens.                The first burden (ch. 9-11) gives an outline of the course of       God's providential dealings with his people down to the time of       the Advent.                The second burden (ch. 12-14) points out the glories that       await Israel in "the latter day", the final conflict and triumph       of God's kingdom.                (2.) The son or grandson of Jehoiada, the high priest in the       times of Ahaziah and Joash. After the death of Jehoiada he       boldly condemned both the king and the people for their       rebellion against God (2 Chr. 24:20), which so stirred up their       resentment against him that at the king's commandment they       stoned him with stones, and he died "in the court of the house       of the Lord" (24:21). Christ alludes to this deed of murder in       Matt. 23:35, Luke 11:51. (See {ZACHARIAS} [2].)                (3.) A prophet, who had "understanding in the seeing of God,"       in the time of Uzziah, who was much indebted to him for his wise       counsel (2 Chr. 26:5).                Besides these, there is a large number of persons mentioned in       Scripture bearing this name of whom nothing is known.                (4.) One of the chiefs of the tribe of Reuben (1 Chr. 5:7).                (5.) One of the porters of the tabernacle (1 Chr. 9:21).                (6.) 1 Chr. 9:37.                (7.) A Levite who assisted at the bringing up of the ark from       the house of Obededom (1 Chr. 15:20-24).                (8.) A Kohathite Levite (1 Chr. 24:25).                (9.) A Merarite Levite (1 Chr. 27:21).                (10.) The father of Iddo (1 Chr. 27:21).                (11.) One who assisted in teaching the law to the people in       the time of Jehoshaphat (2 Chr. 17:7).                (12.) A Levite of the sons of Asaph (2 Chr. 20:14).                (13.) One of Jehoshaphat's sons (2 Chr. 21:2).                (14.) The father of Abijah, who was the mother of Hezekiah (2       Chr. 29:1).                (15.) One of the sons of Asaph (2 Chr. 29:13).                (16.) One of the "rulers of the house of God" (2 Chr. 35:8).                (17.) A chief of the people in the time of Ezra, who consulted       him about the return from captivity (Ezra 8:16); probably the       same as mentioned in Neh. 8:4,                (18.) Neh. 11:12.                (19.) Neh. 12:16.                (20.) Neh. 12:35,41.                (21.) Isa. 8:2.
