The Book of Zechariah is a Jewish text attributed to Zechariah, a Hebrew prophet of the late 6th century BC. In the Hebrew Bible, the text is included as part of the Twelve Minor Prophets, itself a part of the second division of that work. In the Christian Old Testament, the Book of Zechariah is considered to be a separate book.

[4] The Targum of Lam 2:20 names this Zechariah son of Iddo and It reads that he was stoned as Matthew 23:35 reads.

However, the prophet Zechariah is listed as the son of Berechiah and some therefore make this identification. The Book of Zechariah is commonly dated to c. 520–518 BC, several hundred years after the reign of Jehoash of Judah, and in this interpretation Zechariah is chronologically the last of the martyrs.
