International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

jer´i - moth (see Jeremoth , (c)):

(1) A B enjamite (1 Chronicles 7:7 ).

(2) A B enjamite who joined David at Ziklag, or perhaps a Judean (1 Chronicles 12:5 (Hebrew 6)).

(3) In 1 Chronicles 24:30 = Jeremoth , (4) (which see).

(4) A L evite musician in David's time (1 Chronicles 25:4 ).

(5) Son of David and father of Mahalath, Rehoboam's wife (2 Chronicles 11:18 ). He is not mentioned (2 Samuel 3:2-5; 2 Samuel 5:14-16; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9; 1 Chronicles 14:4-7 ) among the sons of David's wives, so Curtis ( Ch , 369) thinks that he was either the son of a concubine, or possibly the name is a corruption of "Ithream" (יתרעם , yithre‛ām , 1 Chronicles 3:3 ).

(6) A L evite overseer in Hezekiah's time (2 Chronicles 31:13 ).

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

(Heb. Yerimoth', יְרַימוֹת, heights, i.q. Jeremoth), the name of several men. (See Jeremoth).

1. (Sept. Ι᾿εριμούθ ) One of the five sons of Bela, son of Benjamin, a valiant chief of his tribe (1 Chronicles 7:7). B.C. post 1856.

2. (Sept. Ι᾿εριμώθ ) The last named of the three sons of Mushi, grandson of Levi (1 Chronicles 24:30); elsewhere (1 Chronicles 23:23) called JEREMOTH (See Jeremoth) (q.v.).

3. (Sept. Ι᾿αριμούθ v.r. Ἀριμώθ )) One of the famous Benjamite archers and slingers that joined David's band at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:5). B.C. 1055.

4. (Sept. Ι᾿εριμούθ v.r. Ι᾿εριμώθ )) One of the fourteen sons of Heman, and appointed a Levitical musician under his father in the arrangement of the sacred services by David (1 Chronicles 25:4); probably the same elsewhere (1 Chronicles 25:22) called JEREMOTH.

5. (Sept. Ι᾿εριμούθ v.r. Ι᾿εριμώθ )) Son of Azriel, and "captain" of Naphtali under David and Solomon (1 Chronicles 27:19). B.C. 1014.

6. (Sept. Ε᾿ρμούθ v.r. Ι᾿εριμώθ .) A son of David, whose daughter Mahalath was Rehoboam's first wife (2 Chronicles 11:18). B.C. ante 973. He appears to have been different from any of David's sons elsewhere enumerated (2 Samuel 3:2-5; 1 Chronicles 14:4-7), having, perhaps, been born of a concubine (compare 2 Samuel 16:21). (See David). "This, in fact, is the Jewish tradition respecting his maternity (Jerome, Quoestiones, ad loc.). It is, however, somewhat questionable whether Rehoboam would have married the grandchild of a concubine even of the great David. The passage 2 Chronicles 11:18 is not quite clear, since the word ‘ daughter' is a correction of the Keri: the original text had בן, i.e. ‘ son.'"

7. (Sept. Ι᾿εριμώθ .) A Levite, one of the overseers of the Temple offerings in the time of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 31:13). B.C. 726.
