(heights).

1. Son or descendant of Bela. (1 Chronicles 7:7) He is perhaps the same as

2. who joined David at Ziklag. (1 Chronicles 12:5) (B.C. 1055.)

3. A son of Beecher, (1 Chronicles 7:8) and head of a Benjamite house.

4. Son of Mushi, the son of Merari. (1 Chronicles 24:30)

5. Son of Heman, head of fifteenth ward of musicians. (1 Chronicles 25:4,22) (B.C. 1014.)

6. Son of Zariel, ruler of the tribe of Naphtali in the reign of David. (1 Chronicles 27:19)

7. Son of King David, whose daughter Mahalath was one of the wives of Rehoboam, her cousin Abihail being the other. (2 Chronicles 11:18) (B.C. before 1014.)

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

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

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

(3) In 1Ch 24:30 = JEREMOTH, (4) (which see).

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

(5) Son of David and father of Mahalath, Rehoboam's wife (2Ch 11:18). He is not mentioned (2Sa 3:2-5; 5:14-16; 1Ch 3:1-9; 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, 1Ch 3:3).

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