Where Irijah appears in Scripture

Jeremiah 37

וַיְהִי-הוּא בְּשַׁעַר בִּנְיָמִן וְשָׁם בַּעַל פְּקִדֻת וּשְׁמוֹ יִרְאִיָּיה בֶּן-שֶֽׁלֶמְיָה בֶּן-חֲנַנְיָה וַיִּתְפֹּשׂ אֶֽת-יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר אֶל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים אַתָּה נֹפֵֽל׃
13
And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ שֶׁקֶר אֵינֶנִּי נֹפֵל עַל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים וְלֹא שָׁמַע אֵלָיו וַיִּתְפֹּשׂ יִרְאִיָּיה בְּיִרְמְיָהוּ וַיְבִאֵהוּ אֶל-הַשָּׂרִֽים׃
14
Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall away not to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
