Talk:Zechariah (Hebrew prophet)

message: I have renamed this article as Zechariah (Hebrew prophet) (originally Zechariah).  The shorter alternative Zechariah (prophet) could be ambiguous, as a later individual, Zechariah (priest), is considered a prophet in Islam. Fayenatic london 19:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Use italics in places where Zechariah is used to refer to the biblical book, otherwise use (ironically) roman text; this helps to distinguish between the two.
I.E. Zechariah was written by Zechariah. — Dizzley (Peter H) 22:06, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Italics, when referring to the Book of Zechariah 

message: I'm getting confused! Chapter 2 of Zechariah has the prophet in the first person narrative (verses 1-7a), but then the narrative switches from the "me" to the "him". I don't know if both of them refer to Zechariah or not, but the next verse (8) has the angel saying, "Tell this to that young man", which, according to the footnote in the NAB, is either an angel or a man with a measuring cord of verse 5!  Can someone give me a clear interpretation? --Angeldeb82 16:58, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chapter 2? 

message: I'm removing this entire section for the following reasons:
*Chabad.org - move to Book of Zechariah
*New RSV at anova.org - Not found.  Book of Zechariah already has an alternative. 
*Wikisource - empty
*James Palmer's Doctoral Dissertation on the Septuagint of Zechariah - just an abtract and table of contents, adds nothing.

message: The Hadith (Book 030, Number 5863) gives no indication that this prophet is the same Zakariyya as was identified there as a carpenter. Unless someone can cite a connection from WP:RS, I propose to remove it from the article. – Fayenatic (talk) 12:58, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Islam 

message: Someone inserted randomly and out of rhythm this paragraph:
"According to 2 Chronicles 24:20, Jehoiada the priest is his father: 
Then the Spirit of God came on Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you disobey the Lord’s commands? You will not prosper. Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’ ”"
this isn't talking about the same Zechariah, so I deleted it, as it's out of place. please correct me if I'm wrong. Cornelius (talk) 16:31, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  His Father 

message: Why do we have two articles on Zechariah? Prophet and priest — are they different? Is there any way to make this clearer from the article context for someone who may not be an expert on the topic? And maybe a hatnote? Seraphim System (talk) 12:04, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
