Thematic Bible: Son of johanan, possibly identical with zechariah, son of jehoiada


Thematic Bible



And Johanan was the father of Azariah, (he was priest in the house which Solomon put up in Jerusalem:) And Azariah was the father of Amariah, and Amariah was the father of Ahitub,

Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up. But when they had made a secret design against him, he was stoned with stones, by the king's order, in the outer square of the Lord's house. So King Joash did not keep in mind how good Jehoiada his father had been to him, but put his son to death. And in the hour of his death he said, May the Lord see it and take payment!
