Conditional birth estimate
Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.
The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.
Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Zechariah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Zechariah was the son of Jehoiada the priest during the reign of Joash, king of Judah. After the death of Jehoiada, Joash listened to the princes of Judah and they abandoned the house of the Lord. Zechariah was filled with the Spirit of God and stood above the people, admonishing them for forsaking God. However, the people conspired against Zechariah and, at the king's command, stoned him to death in the court of the temple. Jesus later references the murder of Zechariah, son of Berechiah (likely referring to Jehoiada), as an example of the persecution of the prophets.
Zechariah 2 Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
The son or grandson of Jehoiada, the high priest in the times of Ahaziah and Joash. After the death of Jehoiada he boldly condemned both the king and the people for their rebellion against God (2 Chr. 24:20), which so stirred up their resentment against him that at the king’s commandment they stoned him with stones, and he died “in the court of the house of the Lord” (24:21). Christ alludes to this deed of murder in Matt. 23:35, Luke 11:51.
