What does Jeremiah 26:22 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Jeremiah 26:22
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.
