Upon the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of LORD came to Zechariah in the fourth [day] of the ninth month, even in Chislev.

Thus says LORD of hosts: The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah, joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth

and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grizzled horses.
