Hen

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Son of Zephaniah (Zech. 6:14¹⁴And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the Lord. (Zechariah 6:14)). By comparing verse 14 with Zechariah 6:10¹⁰Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; (Zechariah 6:10) Hen (really Chen) appears to be another name of Josiah. Some treat the word Hen not as a proper name, and translate “for the favor of the son of Zephaniah.”
