< | <p> <strong> [[Elnathan]] </strong> . <strong> 1. </strong> The father of Nehushta, the mother of [[Jehoiachin]] ( 2 Kings 24:8 ). <strong> 2. </strong> The son of Achbor, the chief of those sent to Egypt to fetch Uriah, who had offended [[Jehoiakim]] by his prophecy ( Jeremiah 26:22 ff.); and one of those who had entreated the king not to burn the roll ( Jeremiah 36:25 ). It is possible that he is identical with No. 1. <strong> 3. </strong> The name occurs no fewer than three times in the list of those sent for by Ezra when he encamped near [[Ahava]] ( Ezra 8:16 ). In 1Es 8:44 there are only two corresponding names, the second of which is <strong> [[Ennatan]] </strong> . </p> | ||
