"But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death." — Jeremiah 26:24 (ASV)
Ahikam - See the marginal reference. His son Gemariah lent Jeremiah his room for the public reading of Jehoiakim’s scroll, and another son Gedaliah was made governor of the land by the Chaldeans (Jeremiah 39:14); the family probably shared the political views of Jeremiah.
