Prophet The Book of Zechariah introduces him as the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo.

His prophetical career probably began in the second year of Darius the Great, king of the Achaemenid Empire (520 BCE).

Azekah ( he, עֲזֵקָה, ''ʿazēqā'') was an ancient town in the Shfela ("lowlands of Judea") guarding the upper reaches of the Valley of Elah, about 26 km (16 mi) northwest of Hebron. The current '' tell'' (ruin) by that name, also known as Tel Azeka ( he, תל עזקה, ''ʿtel azēqā'') or Tell Zakariya, has been identified with the biblical Azekah, dating back to the Canaanite period. Today, the site lies on the purlieu of Britannia Park. According to Epiphanius of Salamis, the name meant "white" in Hebrew. The ''tell'' is pear shaped with the tip pointing northward.
