Revision as of 10:23, 13 October 2021

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]

Elnathan . 1. The father of Nehushta, the mother of Jehoiachin (  2 Kings 24:8 ). 2. 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. 3. 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 Ennatan .

Fausset's Bible Dictionary [2]

Elnathan: of Jerusalem. Jehoiachin's maternal grandfather ( 2 Kings 24:8). Son of Achbor. Jehoiakim's ready tool for evil, in fetching the prophet Urijah out of Egypt to be killed ( Jeremiah 26:22-23); one of the king's council when Jeremiah's roll was burned ( Jeremiah 36:12;  Jeremiah 36:25); he interceded with the king not to burn it. Compare for three others  Ezra 8:16.
