1. The father of Nehushta, the wife of King Jehoiakim and mother of Jehoiachin (2 Kgs. 24:8); a resident at Jerusalem.

2.-4. Two (LXX only one) “leaders” (NRSV) and another regarded as “wise” who accompanied the returning exiles to Jerusalem (Ezra 8:16).

5. The son of Achbor who captured the fugitive prophet Uriah in Egypt and returned him to King Jehoiakim (Jer. 26:22). He also joined a number of Judahite princes in reading a scroll dictated by Jeremiah in their attempt to dissuade the king from burning the document (Jer. 36:12, 25). Some scholars identify him with the Elnathan named in Lachish Ostracon 3, father of Coniah, “commander of the host” who was dispatched to Egypt.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
