Because of this, many scholars propose that the sixth description be rendered, ‘And there shall be a priest on his throne’ (e.g. ESV). In this case, Zechariah expresses the hope for a second figure: a priest, based on the promise of a Levitical priest in Jer. 33:17–22, who will accompany the Davidic Shoot, and will make offerings and sacrifices in God’s presence for ever (Stead 2009: 137).
