king Darius
Zechariah 7:1
7:1 king Darius. Two years after Zechariah was given the eight visions, he received another word from God, this time rebuking the Jews still in Babylon for instituting a formal fast day without authorization from God and without true repentance. Like many modern religionists, “they made their hearts as an adamant stone” (Zechariah 7:12) whenever they heard God’s Word.
