Like his father, he reigned from Samaria. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 850-849 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 853-852 BC.

The Gospel’s author, John, was not a member of the Twelve, but the son of Martha (Sukkah 52b).

"son of Berechiah"". This identification can be reconciled if Jehoiada was Zechariah's grandfather, and Berechiah his father. However, the prophet Zechariah is listed as the son of Berechiah () and some therefore make this identification. The Book of Zechariah is commonly dated to c. 520-518 BC, several hundred years after the reign of Jehoash of Judah, and in this interpretation Zechariah is chronologically the last of the martyrs. Other identifications of the person Jesus was referring to include the tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which considers ""Zechariah son of Berechiah"" as Zechariah the father of John the Baptist, and"

With Leah as a matriarch, biblical scholars believe the tribe to have been regarded by the text's authors as a part of the original Israelite confederation. The name is derived from the"

Eliezer is also the name of two other minor biblical figures.

One explanation is that because Zipporah was the daughter of a non-Jewish priest, God (or the priestly writers of the Hebrew Bible) did not have much pleasure in the sons of Moses.
