Bible Person

Jeremiah

This Jeremiah entry refers to the father of Hamutal, wife of Josiah and mother of later kings, not to Jeremiah the prophet. He appears through a family connection that reaches directly into Judah's final royal generation. First appears in 2 Kgs 23:31.1

AI summary: This Jeremiah matters because the cross references place him within the maternal ancestry of Jehoahaz and Zedekiah through Hamutal.
