1. 1Ch_6:40.
2. Ezr_10:25.
3. Ezr_10:31.
4. Neh_3:14.
5. Neh_3:31.
6. Neh_8:4.
7. Neh_11:12; Jer_38:1.
8. Son of Hammelech, or "of the king" into whose dungeon Jeremiah was cast (Jer_38:6). Jerahmeel also is called "son of Hammeleeh" or "the king" (Jer_36:26), and Joash (1Ki_22:26), and Maaseiah (2Ch_28:7). Therefore the title is official, one of the royal family, exercising some of the royal prerogative.

Malchiah
(Heb. Malkiyah'. מִלְכַּיָּה, and [Jer_38:6] Malkiya'hu, מִלְכַּיָּהוּ, king of Jehovah; Sept. Μελχία or Μελχίας, but in Nehemiah v. r. Μελχεία or Μελχείας; Auth. Version “Malchijah,” in 1Ch_9:12; 1Ch_24:9; Neh_3:11; Neh_10:3; Neh_12:42; Ezr_10:25, last occurrence; “Melchiah” in Jer_21:1), the name of at least ten persons near the time of the Babylonian exile.
1. The son of Ethni, and father of Baaseiah. Levites of the family of Gershom (1Ch_6:40). B.C. much ante 1014.
2. The head of the fifth division of the sacerdotal order in the distribution appointed by David (1Ch_24:9). B.C. 1014.
3. A priest, the father of Pashur (1Ch_9:12; Neh_11:12),which latter was one of those who proposed to execute the prophet Jeremiah on a charge of treason (Jer_38:1), although he had but unfavorably answered his inquiry respecting the fate of the city (Jer_21:1). B.C. ante 589. He is very possibly the same with the son of Hammelech (lit. the king's son), and owner or constructor of the private dungeon into which Jeremiah was cruelly thrown (Jer_38:6). SEE JEREMIAH. “The title ben-ham-Melek is applied to Jerahmel (Jer_36:26), who was among those commissioned by the king to take prisoners Jeremiah and Baruch; to Joash, who appears to have held an office inferior to that of the governor of the city, and to whose custody Micaiah was committed by Ahab (1Ki_22:26); and to Maaseiah, who was slain by Zichri, the Ephraimite, in the invasion of Judah by Pekah, in the reign of Ahaz (2Ch_28:7). It would seem from these passages that the title ‘king's son' was official, like that of ‘king's mother,' and applied to one of the royal family, who exercised functions somewhat similar to those of Potiphar in the court of Pharaohs”
4. One of the Israelites, former residents (or descendants) of Parosh, who divorced his Gentile wife after the exile (Ezr_10:25). B.C. 459.
5. Another Israelite of the same place (or parentage) who did likewise (Ezr_10:25). B.C. 459. In the Sept. (ad loc. and 1Es_9:26) his name appears as Α᾿συβίας. 6. One of the former residents (or descendants) of Harim, who assisted in reconstructing the wall of Jerusalem after the return from Babylon (Neh_3:11). B.C. 446. He was one of the Israelites who had previously divorced his (Gentile wife (Ezr_10:31). B.C. 459.
7. Son of Rechab, and ruler of part of Beth-haccerem, who repaired the dung-gate of Jerusalem after the captivity (Neh_3:14). B.C. 446.
8. The son of a “goldsmith,” and the repairer of part of the wall of Jerusalem opposite Ophel (Neh_3:31). B.C. 446.
9. One of the priests appointed as musicians, apparently vocal, to celebrate the completion of the walls of Jerusalem after the exile (Neh_12:42). B.C. 446.
10. One of those who supported Ezra on the left hand while reading the law to the people assembled at Jerusalem (Neh_8:4); probably the same with one of the priests who subscribed the sacred covenant entered into on the same occasion (Neh_10:3). B.C. cir. 410.
