Zechariah was one of the leaders of the people during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. When Josiah directed the celebration of a grand Passover feast, Zechariah, along with Hilkiah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave 2,600 Passover offerings and 300 cattle to the priests for the Passover sacrifices. This generous contribution helped make Josiah's Passover one of the greatest in Israel's history.
One of the “rulers of the house of God” (2 Chr. 35:8).
