When Zechariah initially steps down out of heaven at the end of chapter 6, the audience of the book has no idea where he lands. What the narrative does say is that the prophet proceeded to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah to perform the dramatic action of crowning Joshua the high priest. In the following chapter, the narrative seems to place Zechariah in the Temple, as part of the regular Temple personnel of priests and other prophets (7:3). Envoys from the otherwise unknown figures of Sharezer and Regem-melek arrive from Bethel with a question to lay before YHWH (v. 2). According to the narrative, YHWH chooses to give an answer through Zechariah (vv. 1, 4).1
