<p> 1. Hezron's firstborn (1 Chronicles 2:9; 1 Chronicles 2:25-27; 1 Chronicles 2:33-42). His descendants occupied southern Judah. [[David]] pretended to [[Achish]] he had invaded them, but finally he sent them presents of the [[Amalekite]] spoil (1 Samuel 27:8; 1 Samuel 27:10; 1 Samuel 30:29). The Geshurites, Gezrites, and [[Amalekites]] dwelt close to southern Judah, so that David's march against them seemed a march against southern Judah. The [[Negeb]] or S. land lies between the mountains of [[Judah]] and the [[Arabian]] desert (Joshua 15:19-21). The [[Kenites]] occupied the wilderness of Judah S. of [[Arad]] (Judges 1:16). The Negeb of [[Jerahmeel]] lay S.W. of Arad, the quarter from which David would pretend to attack them, setting out from the Philistines. It is now er Rakhmah, a corruption of Jerahmeel. The wady er Ramail and Beard, er Ramail, S.E. of Arad, are traceable to the same name. The Negeb of [[Caleb]] meets the [[Jerahmeelite]] land, as its northern frontier. </p> <p> 2. 1 Chronicles 24:29; 1 Chronicles 23:21. </p> <p> 3. Hammelech's son sent by king [[Jehoiakim]] to apprehend [[Baruch]] and Jeremiah, "but the Lord hid them" (Jeremiah 36:26; Psalms 31:20; Psalms 83:3; Isaiah 26:20). Not as margin "son of the king," for he at this time (the fifth year of his reign) had no grown up son; [[Jeconiah]] was then but 11 years old (2 Kings 23:36, compare 2 Kings 24:8). </p>

<p> The son of Kish. (1 Chronicles 24:29) His name is a compound of Racham, mercy; El, God. There were others of this name. (See 1 Chronicles 2:25, etc. Jeremiah 36:26. And there was a prince so called. 1 Samuel 27:10; 1Sa 30:29) </p>

<p> <strong> JERAHMEEL </strong> (‘May [[El]] have compassion!’) 1. A non-Israelite clan in the extreme S. of Palestine, with which [[David]] cultivated friendly relations during his exile ( 1 Samuel 27:10; 1 Samuel 30:29 ). After Saul’s death the [[Jerahmeelites]] formed part of the little principality over which he reigned in Hebron. How indistinct the recollection of them was appears from the various forms assumed by their name in MSS of the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] : <em> Jesmega, Isramelei, Aermon, Israel, Jeramelei </em> . Subsequently they were considered to have been a Judahite clan ( 1 Chronicles 2:9; 1Ch 2:25 ff., 1 Chronicles 2:35-42 : here [[Jerahmeel]] is Caleb’s elder brother; the list of his descendants in 1 Chronicles 2:35-42 is of later origin than 1 Chronicles 2:9; 1 Chronicles 2:25-27 and brings them down to the Chronicler’s day). We have no historical or other records connected with these names, save that [[Molid]] ( 1 Chronicles 2:29 ) is a town mentioned elsewhere ( Joshua 19:2 , Nehemiah 11:26 ). 2. LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and Old Lat. read ‘Jerahmeel’ at 1 Samuel 1:1 as the name of Samuel’s grandfather. In all probability the <strong> [[Jeroham]] </strong> of MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] is an abbreviated form, like <em> [[Jacob]] </em> for <em> Jacob-el </em> , or the <em> Yarkhamu </em> found in a [[Babylonian]] list of Hammurabi’s time. 3. One of the three men ordered by [[Jehoiakim]] to arrest Jeremiah and [[Baruch]] ( Jeremiah 36:26 ). AV [Note: Authorized Version.] follows Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] ( <em> filio Amelech </em> ), calling him ‘son of Hammelech’: RV [Note: Revised Version.] , with LXX [Note: Septuagint.] , ‘the king’s son.’ He was a scion of the royal house, but not necessarily a child of Jehoiakim. 4. In a list of [[Levites]] ( 1 Chronicles 24:20-31 ) drawn up considerably later than that in 1 Chronicles 23:6 ff., Jerahmeel’s name is added as son of [[Kish]] (MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] ‘sons’: the text is in a confused state). There must at the time have been a division of Levites called after him, and not, as previously, after Kish. </p> <p> J. Taylor. </p>

<p> 1. [[Son]] of Hezron, a descendant of Judah. 1 Chronicles 2:9-42 . </p> <p> 2. Son of Kish, a Merarite. 1 Chronicles 24:29 . </p> <p> 3. Son of [[Hammelech]] and an officer of Jehoiakim. Jeremiah 36:26 . </p>

<p> Jerah'me-el. (mercy of God). </p> <p> 1. First-born son of Hezron, the son of Pharez, the son of Judah, 1 Chronicles 2:9; 1 Chronicles 2:25-27; 1 Chronicles 2:33; 1 Chronicles 2:42, and founder of the family of Jerahmeelites. 1 Samuel 27:10. (B.C. before 1491). </p> <p> 2. A [[Merarite]] Levite, the representative of the family of Kish, the son of Mahli. 1 Chronicles 24:29. Compare 1 Chronicles 23:21. (B.C. 1014). </p> <p> 3. [[Son]] of Hammelech, who was employed by Jehoiakim, to make Jeremiah and [[Baruch]] prisoners, after they had burnt the roll of Jeremiah's prophecy. Jeremiah 36:26. (B.C. 505). </p>

<p> [[Jerahmeel]] </p> <p> (Heb. Yerachmeë l', יְרִחְמְאֵל, loving [[God]] or beloved by God), the name of three men. </p> <p> 1. (Sept. Ι᾿ραμεήλ and Ι᾿ερεμεήλ v.r. Ι᾿εραμεήλ .) First born of Hezron, brother of Caleb, and father of [[Ram]] (not Aram), of the tribe of [[Judah]] (1 Chronicles 2:9; 1 Chronicles 25:26). B.C. ante 1658. His descendants were called JERAHMLEELITES (Hebrew Yeracnheë li', יְרִחְמְאֵלַי, Sept. Ι᾿εριμιήλ and ῾Ιεριμιήλ v.r. ῾Ιερεμεήλ, 1 Samuel 27:10; 1 Samuel 30:29). </p> <p> 2. (Sept. Ι᾿ραμαήλ v.r. ῾Ιεραμεήλ .) [[Son]] of Kish, a [[Levite]] whose relationship is undefined otherwise (2 Chronicles 24:29). B.C. apparently 1014. </p> <p> 3. (Sept. ῾Ιερεμιήλ v.r. Ι᾿ερεμεήλ a.) Son of [[Hammelech]] (q.v.), one of the two persons commanded by [[Jehoiakim]] to apprehend Jeremiah and Baruch, who providentially escaped (Jeremiah 36:26). B.C. 605. </p>
