Zechariah

This minor prophet gives his name to a book with fourteen chapters. However, many scholars feel it should actually be viewed as two books: chapters 1-8 and chapters 9-14. The first eight chapters consist of a series of visions which have certain similarities to Haggai while the last six chapters are oracles that are closely aligned with the Book of Malachi. Thus, the last three books of minor prophets can be considered as a whole, much as Ezra-Nehemiah and Samuel-Kings belong together.
