Study note

Setting — The Chronicler continues a numbered roster of Gadite warriors who joined David, recording the tenth and eleventh entries in the sequence.

The words — יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ (yir.me.Ya.hu) denotes the personal name Jeremiah, while הָ/עֲשִׂירִ֔י (ha./'a.si.Ri) literally means "the tenth."

The thread — This verse operates as a sequential link in the Chronicler’s list of Gadite commanders (1 Chronicles 12:12–13), which immediately precedes the description of their collective military capacity in 1 Chronicles 12:14.

Why it lands — It requires the reader to track the precise ordinal placement of names in a military roster before the text shifts to evaluate the strength of the least individual in that list.
