What the Bible says about Berechiah
(From Forerunner Commentary)
Jesus calls him “Zechariah, son of Berechiah” (Matthew 23:35-36) whereas the chronicler records that he was the son of Jehoiada (II Chronicles 24:22). Because the place of death matches in both accounts, most commentators believe the two refer to the same man. One of the following two solutions to this problem is likely to be true: 1) Berechiah is Zechariah's father, but as in so many cases in Scripture, he is said to be the “son” of his very elderly grandfather, Jehoiada; or 2) Jehoiada went by at least two names, one of them being Berechiah.
