Zechariah
Who he was
Zechariah was a descendant of Shelah, the son of Judah, who lived in Jerusalem after the return from the Babylonian exile. He was the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni. Like the Zechariah mentioned in Nehemiah 11:4, this Zechariah is listed among the people who resettled in Jerusalem. His decision to live in the city demonstrates his commitment to the restoration of Jerusalem and the religious life of the community. The text provides no further details about this specific Zechariah.
