Elnathan [1]
el -nā´than ( אלנתן , 'elnāthān , "God has given"):
(1) The grandfather of Jehoiachin ( 2 Kings 24:8 ).
(2) A courtier of Jehoiakim; he was one of those sent to Egypt to bring back the prophet Uriah ( Jeremiah 26:22 ), and one of those who heard the reading of Jeremiah's roll and entreated Jehoiakim not to burn the roll ( Jeremiah 36:12 , Jeremiah 36:25 ) - possibly the same person as (1) above.
(3, 4, 5) The name of two "chief men" - unless textual corruption has introduced the name at its second occurrence - and of one "teacher" sent for by Ezra from the camp at the river Ahava ( Ezra 8:16 ).
