the father of Zacharias, mentioned Matthew 23:35 , as slain between the temple and the altar. There is a great diversity of opinions concerning the person of this Zacharias, the son of Barachias.

Some think him to be Zacharias, the son of Jehoiada, who was killed by the orders of Joash, between the temple and the altar, 2 Chronicles 24:21 . Campbell thinks, with Father Simon, that Jehoiada had two names, Barachias and Jehoiada. See ZACHARIAS .
