Answer 1

Zephaniah was put death by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

Answer 2

As a researcher and contributor, I'm unable to find any biblical record of the death of Zephaniah. It appears the answer is, "Unknown."

Answer 3

Jeremiah 52:24-27 explains how King Nebuchadnezzar killed Zephaniah

Additional Comments:

Jewish names are like many others where there are usually more than one person with the same given name - even in a similar line of work. This seems to be the case here with Answer 3 above. The priest name Zephaniah in the Book of Jeremiah 52:24-27 appears to be the same man as noted in Jeremiah 29:25, at least they share the same given name. This figure does not appear to be the Prophet Zephaniah.

The Prophet Zephaniah who wrote a book in the Old Testament, was a contemporary of Jeremiah. He lists his genealogy back four generations to Hezekiah (probably Judah's King then) as follows: son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah in the days of Josiah, King of Judah - circa 627 BC.

On the other hand, the priest Zephaniah mentioned in Jeremiah 29 and 52 says he is the son of Maaseiah. So, it is obviously a different Zephaniah than the 'minor prophet' Zephaniah of whom the Scripture does not note his date/way of death.
