And Jehoiakim sent men into Egypt, etc.] 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, (<122212>2 Kings 22:12,14); who is called Abdon in (<143420>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.
