Jerimoth is a name that appears several times in the Old Testament, associated with different individuals from various tribes of Israel. The name Jerimoth is believed to mean "heights" or "elevations," reflecting a possible connection to high places or prominence.

1. Jerimoth, Son of Bela: In 1 Chronicles 7:7, Jerimoth is listed as one of the sons of Bela, who was the son of Benjamin. This Jerimoth is noted among the heads of their families, described as "mighty men of valor" and "chiefs of their fathers' houses." The passage highlights the military prowess and leadership within the tribe of Benjamin.

2. Jerimoth, Son of David: Another Jerimoth is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 3:9 as one of the sons of King David. This Jerimoth is included in the genealogical records of David's descendants, although not much detail is provided about his life or deeds. His inclusion in the royal lineage underscores the importance of David's family in the history of Israel.

3. Jerimoth, a Levite Musician: In 1 Chronicles 25:4, Jerimoth is listed among the sons of Heman, who were appointed by King David to serve in the musical ministry of the temple. This Jerimoth was part of the group responsible for prophesying with lyres, harps, and cymbals, contributing to the worship and spiritual life of Israel through music.

4. Jerimoth, a Leader in the Tribe of Naphtali: In 1 Chronicles 27:19, Jerimoth is mentioned as the leader of the tribe of Naphtali during the reign of King David. This role would have involved administrative and military responsibilities, reflecting the organizational structure of Israel under David's rule.

5. Jerimoth, a Son of Mushi: In 1 Chronicles 23:23, Jerimoth is identified as one of the sons of Mushi, who was a descendant of Merari, one of the sons of Levi. This Jerimoth is part of the Levitical families responsible for the service of the tabernacle, highlighting the hereditary nature of Levitical duties.

6. Jerimoth, a Son of Azriel: In 2 Chronicles 11:18, Jerimoth is mentioned as the father of Mahalath, who became one of the wives of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon. This connection places Jerimoth within the broader narrative of the divided kingdom and the political alliances formed through marriage.

The various individuals named Jerimoth illustrate the diverse roles and responsibilities within the tribes of Israel, from military leadership and royal lineage to religious service and political alliances. Each mention of Jerimoth contributes to the rich tapestry of Israel's history as recorded in the Old Testament.Jerimoth

JERIMOTH

jer'-i-moth (see JEREMOTH, (c)):

(1) A Benjamite (1 Chronicles 7:7).

(2) A Benjamite who joined David at Ziklag, or perhaps a Judean (1 Chronicles 12:5 (Hebrew 6)).

(4) A Levite musician in David's time (1 Chronicles 25:4).

(5) Son of David and father of Mahalath, Rehoboam's wife (2 Chronicles 11:18). He is not mentioned (2 Samuel 3:2-5; 2 Samuel 5:14-16 1 Chronicles 3:1-9; 1 Chronicles 14:4-7) among the sons of David's wives, so Curtis (Ch, 369) thinks that he was either the son of a concubine, or possibly the name is a corruption of "Ithream" (yithre`am, 1 Chronicles 3:3).

(6) A Levite overseer in Hezekiah's time (2 Chronicles 31:13).
