Hammelech
(Heb. ham-Me’lek, ‘, which is merely ‘, me’lek, king, with the article prefixed; Sept. translates , Vulg. Amelech), the father of Jerahmeel, which latter was one of those commanded by Jehoiakim to arrest Jeremiah and Baruch (Jer 36:26). B.C. ante 605. It is doubtful whether this was the same with the Hammelech, father of Malchiah, into whose dungeon Jeremiah was afterwards cast (Jer 38:6). B.C. ante 589.’Others, however, regard the word in both cases as an appellative, referring in the first passage to Jehoiakim, and in the latter to Zedekiah. SEE HAMMOLEKETH.

Hammelech
the king’s, the father of Jerahmeel, mentioned in Jer. 36:26. Some take this word as a common noun, “the king”, and understand that Jerahmeel was Jehoiakim’s son. Probably, however, it is to be taken as a proper name.

Hammelech
Jer 36:26; Jer 38:6. Jehoiakim at this time (the fifth year of his reign) had no grown up son. Jeconiah his successor was then but eleven (2Ki 23:36; compare 2Ki 24:8). We must not then, with Smith’s Bible Dictionary, translated “the king,” but as a proper name, Hammelech, father of Jerahmeel and Malchiah.
