Jerahmeel
1. Hezron’s firstborn (1Ch 2:9; 1Ch 2:25-27; 1Ch 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 (1Sa 27:8; 1Sa 27:10; 1Sa 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 (Jos 15:19-21). The Kenites occupied the wilderness of Judah S. of Arad (Jdg 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.
2. 1Ch 24:29; 1Ch 23:21.
3. Hammelech’s son sent by king Jehoiakim to apprehend Baruch and Jeremiah, “but the Lord hid them” (Jer 36:26; Psa 31:20; Psa 83:3; Isa 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 (2Ki 23:36, compare 2Ki 24:8).

Jerahmeel
JERAHMEEL (May El have compassion!) 1. A non-Israelite clan in the extreme S. of Palestine, with which David cultivated friendly relations during his exile (1Sa 27:10; 1Sa 30:29). After Sauls 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.] : Jesmega, Isramelei, Aermon, Israel, Jeramelei. Subsequently they were considered to have been a Judahite clan (1Ch 2:9; 1Ch 2:25 ff., 1Ch 2:35-42 : here Jerahmeel is Calebs elder brother; the list of his descendants in 1Ch 2:35-42 is of later origin than 1Ch 2:9; 1Ch 2:25-27 and brings them down to the Chroniclers day). We have no historical or other records connected with these names, save that Molid (1Ch 2:29) is a town mentioned elsewhere (Jos 19:2, Neh 11:26). 2. LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and Old Lat. read Jerahmeel at 1Sa 1:1 as the name of Samuels grandfather. In all probability the Jeroham of MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] is an abbreviated form, like Jacob for Jacob-el, or the Yarkhamu found in a Babylonian list of Hammurabis time. 3. One of the three men ordered by Jehoiakim to arrest Jeremiah and Baruch (Jer 36:26). AV [Note: Authorized Version.] follows Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] (filio Amelech), calling him son of Hammelech: RV [Note: Revised Version.] , with LXX [Note: Septuagint.] , the kings son. He was a scion of the royal house, but not necessarily a child of Jehoiakim. 4. In a list of Levites (1Ch 24:20-31) drawn up considerably later than that in 1Ch 23:6 ff., Jerahmeels 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.
