Overview
Jeremoth appears multiple times in Scripture as the name of various Old Testament figures. The most notable was Jeremoth, son of Azriel, who served as an officer over the tribe of Naphtali during David's reign (1 Chronicles 27:19). Other men named Jeremoth are listed among Benjamin's descendants and family lineages, demonstrating the name's use among Israel's tribal leaders and families.
Key Scriptures
"Jeremoth the son of Azriel was over the tribe of Naphtali" (1 Chronicles 27:19, ESV).
"And the sons of Elpaal were Eber, Misham, and Shemed, who built Ono and Lod with its towns" (1 Chronicles 8:12, ESV) — a passage listing genealogies where Jeremoth also appears among Benjamin's descendants.
Application
While Jeremoth is a minor biblical figure, his inclusion reminds us that God records and honors faithful service in both prominent and obscure roles within His kingdom.
