**Zechariah** son of Yehoyada the High Priest and prophet and son-in-law of the king was killed in the Temple by command of King Yoash king of Yehudah in the 39th year of his reign, year 100 [on Shabbat and Yom Kippur (Midrash Eichah chapter 2)]. At the turn of the year, the king was killed by his servants on his bed and was not buried in the burial place of kings [(Divrei HaYamim II 25)]. In Bereishit Rabbah on Kohelet, the verse "the place of justice, there is wickedness" — his blood seethed for 252 years from Yoash until Tzidkiyahu, but this was actually only 238.

His burial is on the slope of the Mount of Olives, half-hewn from the stone [(Gedolei Yisrael)] and not far from the monument where kings of the House of David are buried, the stone upon which children were slaughtered because of Zechariah [(there)].

**Amatzyah** son of Yoash became king over Yehudah at age 25 [(Melachim II 14 and in Sha'ar HaDorot 28 there's a typographical error)] in the 2nd year of Yoash king of Yisrael, which was year 100, and he reigned 29 years and was killed. [Tzeda writes that according to Rashi, only 14 years were counted for him until year 3115 (see Uziyah) and all the remaining years were absorbed within the 52 years that his son Uziyahu reigned. His reason is that in the first chapter of Yoma, the first chapter of Avodah Zarah, the second chapter of Arachin (and in Tzeda there's a typographical error), and the chapter on the burnt offerings, our Sages said that the First Temple stood 410 years, thus according to Rashi Melachim II 14, if we don't subtract the 15 years, you would find according to the years of the kings that the Temple stood 425 years.

The Radak responded to him saying that two calculations are found in the days of the Temple: if you count from the beginning of the Temple's construction from the 4th year of Shlomo (which was year 2928) until the 11th year of Tzidkiyahu (see year 319), upon which Nevuchadnetzar came, you find 410 years, and if you count until the Temple was completely destroyed in the 11th year of Tzidkiyahu, you find 428 and a half years, and so was the calculation of the Ralbag and Don Yitzchak. The Ra'aved in his book of tradition wrote that the 410 was until the 11th of Yehoyakim and its standing was close to 430 years.

But it's difficult, since the difference in the days of the Temple between Rashi and Radak is about 20 years, thus according to Rashi who didn't subtract from Amatzyahu's years except 15 years, there still remain according to his view another 5 years more than 410, and it appears that according to the calculation of 410 we subtract 5 interrupted years: 1 year of Aviyah, 2 years of Yehoshafat, 2 years of Yehoram, and 1 year of Atalyah (see there). Sha'ar HaDorot 18:2 writes: I saw in the book of Darkhei No'am from Nachiv].

In his being in the kingdom of Mortar, he saw the gravestone of the general of Amatzyahu king of Yehudah with the inscription upon it, and it says in Midrash that when the general of Amatzyahu turned away from HaShem and the prophet rebuked him, his servants heard and conspired against him [thus far]. Tzidkiyahu was the High Priest. Amotz, father of Yeshayahu, was a prophet and was the brother of King Amatzyahu [(see year 140)].
