ELNATHAN

1. Grandfather of King Jehoiachin. His daughter, Jehoiachin’s mother, was Nehushta (2 Kgs 24:8).

2, 3, 4. Three Jewish leaders whom Ezra sent to Iddo at Casiphia to obtain Levites and temple servants for the caravan of Jews returning to Palestine from Babylonia (Ezr 8:16).

5. Acbor’s son, who was ordered by King Jehoiakim to bring back Uriah from Egypt to be executed for prophesying against the king (Jer 26:22-23). Elnathan was present with other princes when Baruch read the Lord’s words of warning written at Jeremiah’s dictation on a scroll (36:12); he tried unsuccessfully to prevent Jehoiakim from burning the scroll (v 25).
