It was to Anathoth that Solomon banished Abiathar when Solomon changed David’s co-chiefs, Zadok of the Eleazar branch and Abiathar of Ithamar, to Zadok alone--refer to Appendix 2A, Attachment 4, “Eli Descendancy,” sub-part II, (a) Abiathar, and Appendix 1E preceding fn. 90; for the prophet Jeremiah’s involvement with Anathoth, see Appendix 2C, VII (fns. 16, 17 and en passim). 5 This would permit reference to Meshullam/Shallum as Jeremiah’s “uncle.” 6 Not a blood relative but allowing reference as “son” of Meshullam. 7 King Jehoiakim[/Eliakim] sent Seraiah (the name of the next high priest), the son of Azriel (a possible form of Azariah), to seize Baruch and Jeremiah; Jeremiah 36:26. 8 As the nearest blood relative for redemption of Hananiah’s widow, Jeremiah after such could be referenced as “son” of Hilkiah.
