Journey \Jour"ney\, n.; pl. {Journeys}. [OE. jornee, journee,       prop., a day's journey, OF. jorn[82]e, jurn[82]e, a day, a       day's work of journey, F. journ[82]e, fr. OF. jorn, jurn, jor       a day, F. jour, fr. L. diurnus. See {Journal}.]       1. The travel or work of a day. [Obs.] --Chaucer.                         We have yet large day, for scarce the sun Hath                      finished half his journey.                  --Milton.          2. Travel or passage from one place to another; hence,             figuratively, a passage through life.                         The good man . . . is gone a long journey. --Prov.                                                                               vii. 19.                         We must all have the same journey's end. --Bp.                                                                               Stillingfleet.          Syn: Tour; excursion; trip; expedition; pilgrimage.          Usage: {Journey}, {Tour}, {Excursion}, {Pilgrimage}. The word                   journey suggests the idea of a somewhat prolonged                   traveling for a specific object, leading a person to                   pass directly from one point to another. In a tour, we                   take a roundabout course from place to place, more                   commonly for pleasure, though sometimes on business.                   An excursion is usually a brief tour or trip for                   pleasure, health, etc. In a pilgrimage we travel to a                   place hallowed by our religions affections, or by some                   train of sacred or tender associations. A journey on                   important business; the tour of Europe; an excursion                   to the lakes; a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jehoram       Jehovah-exalted. (1.) Son of Toi, king of Hamath, sent by his       father to congratulate David on the occasion of his victory over       Hadadezer (2 Sam. 8:10).                (2.) A Levite of the family of Gershom (1 Chr. 26:25).                (3.) A priest sent by Jehoshaphat to instructruct the people       in Judah (2 Chr. 17:8).                (4.) The son of Ahab and Jezebel, and successor to his brother       Ahaziah on the throne of Israel. He reigned twelve years, B.C.       896-884 (2 Kings 1:17; 3:1). His first work was to reduce to       subjection the Moabites, who had asserted their independence in       the reign of his brother. Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, assisted       Jehoram in this effort. He was further helped by his ally the       king of Edom. Elisha went forth with the confederated army (2       Kings 3:1-19), and at the solicitation of Jehoshaphat encouraged       the army with the assurance from the Lord of a speedy victory.       The Moabites under Mesha their king were utterly routed and       their cities destroyed. At Kir-haraseth Mesha made a final       stand. The Israelites refrained from pressing their victory       further, and returned to their own land.                Elisha afterwards again befriended Jehoram when a war broke       out between the Syrians and Israel, and in a remarkable way       brought that war to a bloodless close (2 Kings 6:23). But       Jehoram, becoming confident in his own power, sank into       idolatry, and brought upon himself and his land another Syrian       invasion, which led to great suffering and distress in Samaria       (2 Kings 6:24-33). By a remarkable providential interposition       the city was saved from utter destruction, and the Syrians were       put to flight (2 Kings 7:6-15).                Jehoram was wounded in a battle with the Syrians at Ramah, and       obliged to return to Jezreel (2 Kings 8:29; 9:14, 15), and soon       after the army proclaimed their leader Jehu king of Israel, and       revolted from their allegiance to Jehoram (2 Kings 9). Jehoram       was pierced by an arrow from Jehu's bow on the piece of ground       at Jezreel which Ahab had taken from Naboth, and there he died       (2 Kings 9:21-29).                (5.) The eldest son and successor of Jehoshaphat, king of       Judah. He reigned eight years (B.C. 892-885) alone as king of       Judah, having been previously for some years associated with his       father (2 Chr. 21:5, 20; 2 Kings 8:16). His wife was Athaliah,       the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel. His daughter Jehosheba was       married to the high priest Jehoiada. He sank into gross       idolatry, and brought upon himself and his kingdom the anger of       Jehovah. The Edomites revolted from under his yoke, and the       Philistines and the Arabians and Cushites invaded the land, and       carried away great spoil, along with Jehoram's wives and all his       children, except Ahaziah. He died a painful death from a fearful       malady, and was refused a place in the sepulchre of the kings (2       Kings 8:16-24; 2 Chr. 21).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jeremiah       raised up or appointed by Jehovah. (1.) A Gadite who joined       David in the wilderness (1 Chr. 12:10).                (2.) A Gadite warrior (1 Chr. 12:13).                (3.) A Benjamite slinger who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chr.       12:4).                (4.) One of the chiefs of the tribe of Manasseh on the east of       Jordan (1 Chr. 5:24).                (5.) The father of Hamutal (2 Kings 23:31), the wife of       Josiah.                (6.) One of the "greater prophets" of the Old Testament, son       of Hilkiah (q.v.), a priest of Anathoth (Jer. 1:1; 32:6). He was       called to the prophetical office when still young (1:6), in the       thirteenth year of Josiah (B.C. 628). He left his native place,       and went to reside in Jerusalem, where he greatly assisted       Josiah in his work of reformation (2 Kings 23:1-25). The death       of this pious king was bewailed by the prophet as a national       calamity (2 Chr. 35:25).                During the three years of the reign of Jehoahaz we find no       reference to Jeremiah, but in the beginning of the reign of       Jehoiakim the enmity of the people against him broke out in       bitter persecution, and he was placed apparently under restraint       (Jer. 36:5). In the fourth year of Jehoiakim he was commanded to       write the predictions given to him, and to read them to the       people on the fast-day. This was done by Baruch his servant in       his stead, and produced much public excitement. The roll was       read to the king. In his recklessness he seized the roll, and       cut it to pieces, and cast it into the fire, and ordered both       Baruch and Jeremiah to be apprehended. Jeremiah procured another       roll, and wrote in it the words of the roll the king had       destroyed, and "many like words" besides (Jer. 36:32).                He remained in Jerusalem, uttering from time to time his words       of warning, but without effect. He was there when Nebuchadnezzar       besieged the city (Jer. 37:4, 5), B.C. 589. The rumour of the       approach of the Egyptians to aid the Jews in this crisis induced       the Chaldeans to withdraw and return to their own land. This,       however, was only for a time. The prophet, in answer to his       prayer, received a message from God announcing that the       Chaldeans would come again and take the city, and burn it with       fire (37:7, 8). The princes, in their anger at such a message by       Jeremiah, cast him into prison (37:15-38:13). He was still in       confinement when the city was taken (B.C. 588). The Chaldeans       released him, and showed him great kindness, allowing him to       choose the place of his residence. He accordingly went to Mizpah       with Gedaliah, who had been made governor of Judea. Johanan       succeeded Gedaliah, and refusing to listen to Jeremiah's       counsels, went down into Egypt, taking Jeremiah and Baruch with       him (Jer. 43:6). There probably the prophet spent the remainder       of his life, in vain seeking still to turn the people to the       Lord, from whom they had so long revolted (44). He lived till       the reign of Evil-Merodach, son of Nebuchadnezzar, and must have       been about ninety years of age at his death. We have no       authentic record of his death. He may have died at Tahpanhes,       or, according to a tradition, may have gone to Babylon with the       army of Nebuchadnezzar; but of this there is nothing certain.
