Hammelech

Easton's Bible Dictionary

The king’s, the father of Jerahmeel, mentioned in Jer 36:26. Some take this word as a common noun, “the king”, and understand that Jerahmeel was Jehoiakim’s son. Probably, however, it is to be taken as a proper name.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ham'-e-lek (ha-melekh, "the king"): Wrongly translated as a proper name in the King James Version. It should be rendered "the king," as in the American Standard Revised Version (Jer 36:26; Jer 38:6).
