Elnathan: Father of Nehushta, the Mother of King Jehoiachin

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.

Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor along with some other men.

…he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.

Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
