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 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.] : 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 Caleb’s 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 Chronicler’s 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 Samuel’s 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 Hammurabi’s 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 king’s 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., 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.

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).
