ELNATHAN . 1. The father of Nehushta, the mother of Jehoiachin ( 2 Kings 24:8 ). 2. The son of Achbor, the chief of those sent to Egypt to fetch Uriah, who had offended Jehoiakim by his prophecy ( Jeremiah 26:22 ff.); and one of those who had entreated the king not to burn the roll ( Jeremiah 36:25 ). It is possible that he is identical with No. 1. 3. The name occurs no fewer than three times in the list of those sent for by Ezra when he encamped near Ahava ( Ezra 8:16 ). In 1Es 8:44 there are only two corresponding names, the second of which is Ennatan .
