Contextual Overview

¹⁶ Then the leaders and all the people said to the religious leaders and men of God, "No, this man should not be put to death! For he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God." ¹⁷ Then some of the leaders of the land stood up and said to all the people who had gathered, ¹⁸ "Micah of Moresheth spoke in God's name in the days of King Hezekiah of Judah. He said to all the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord of All has said: Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will be destroyed. And trees will cover the mountain where the Lord's house is.' ¹⁹ Did King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and pray for the Lord's favor? And the Lord changed His mind about the trouble He had said would come to them. But we are about to bring a very bad thing on ourselves." ²⁰ There was another man who spoke in the name of the Lord. He was Uriah the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He spoke against this city and against this land in words like those of Jeremiah. ²¹ When King Jehoiakim and all his powerful men and all his leaders heard his words, the king wanted to put Uriah to death. But Uriah heard about it, and he was afraid and ran away to Egypt. ²² Then King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him to Egypt. ²³ And they took Uriah from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, who killed him with a sword. Then he threw his dead body where most people are buried. ²⁴ But Ahikam the son of Shaphan helped Jeremiah, so that he was not given over to the people to be put to death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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; 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Elnathan - Possibly the king’s father-in-law 2 Kings 24:8.
