"and Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;" — Jeremiah 26:22 (ASV)
And Jehoiakim sent men into Egypt
To seek for him; and to require the delivery of him upon being found: [namely], Elnathan the son of Achbor ;
the father of this man very probably is the same we read of in Josiah's time, (2 Kings 22:12 2 Kings 22:14) ; who is called Abdon in (2 Chronicles 34:20) ; and [certain] men with him, into Egypt ;
to assist him in taking him, whose names are not mentioned; Elnathan's is, as being the principal, and to fix an eternal infamy upon him.
