Jeremiah took Zedekiah’s daughters and, it is said, the Israelites’<br />

coronation stone to Spain and thence to Ireland. In Spain, one of<br />

Zedekiah’s daughters married into the Spanish royal family of Zaragossa.<br />

Jeremiah arrived in Ireland in 569BCE as an elderly, white-haired<br />

patriarch. <strong>The</strong> Irish histories sometimes call him a saint. With Jeremiah<br />

was the Zedakiah’s young daughter Tea-Tephi or Tephi for short. In<br />

1301CE the Scots pleaded a case to the Pope in which they referred to<br />

legends of Tephi as Scota, the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh and wife<br />

of a Scythian nobleman who was among the Egyptians that pursued the<br />

Israelites to the Red Sea.<br />

As mentioned in Chapter 6, the legend of Scota’s flight seems to<br />

have come through Eusebius in 320CE. Eusebius knowledge was in turn<br />

based on that of Euhemerus, a Greek historian that visited Manetho in<br />

Egypt in 300BCE. 641 From comparison of Pharaohs’ names, it appears<br />

the relavent Pharaoh is the controversial monotheist Akhenaten. Scota<br />

may be the princess Meritaten, his second daughter by Nefertiti.<br />

We mentioned Tea-Tephi, the princess buried at Tara Hill in<br />

Ireland, earlier in the chapter. She is the same archetype as an earlier Tea,<br />

a daughter of Ith, who lived in the days of David. Similarly, Eochaide<br />

Herremon seems to be the same as Gede the Herremon of David's day<br />

who married his cousin, Tea.<br />

Jeremiah’s royal party included Eochaide, the son of the king of<br />

Ireland. Legend says he was in Jerusalem at the time of the siege where<br />

he had become acquainted with Tea-Tephi. Eochaide married Tea-Tephi<br />

at Tara, shortly after 585BCE when the city fell.<br />

Eochaide was a descendent of Zarah’s family while Tea Tephi<br />

was of Judah’s Pharez line. David himself was descended from this<br />

Pharez line of Jewish kings. 642<br />

<strong>The</strong> Irish believe Jeremiah died in Ireland and lies buried near the<br />

ruins of Devenish Abbey, on Devenish Isle in Lower Loch Erne, near<br />

Enniskillen, County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland.<br />

Tea Tephi gave Eochaide the prestige of a Davidic title.<br />

Succeeding his father, Eochaide became High King of Ireland with the<br />

title Herremon.<br />

Eochaide and Tea-Tephi’s 12-year-old son accompanied them to<br />

Ireland. He succeeded Eochaide on the throne of Ireland and the dynasty<br />

continued unbroken through all the kings of Ireland.<br />

Simon Brach, Jeremiah's scribe or secretary, also traveled to<br />

Ireland with Jeremiah’s group. Various writers give Brach’s surname as<br />
