Zechariah
Who he was
Zechariah was a Levite who lived during the time of Ezra the scribe. When Ezra was preparing to lead a group of exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon, he sent for Zechariah and other leaders to find ministers for the house of God. Zechariah is described as a man of understanding, indicating his wisdom and discernment. Ezra's trust in sending him on this important mission suggests that Zechariah was a respected figure among the Levites.
