Seraiah

This Seraiah entry refers to the royal official in Jeremiah 36:26, not to the Simeonite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 4:35. He belongs to the court setting that resists Jeremiah's prophetic message. First appears in Jer 36:26.1

AI summary: This Seraiah matters because his single cross reference places him among the officials ordered to seize Jeremiah and Baruch after the scroll is read.
