Elnathan:

whom God has given. (1.) An inhabitant of Jerusalem, the father of Nehushta, who was the mother of king Jehoiachin (2Ki 24:8). Probably the same who tried to prevent Jehoiakim from burning the roll of Jeremiah's prophecies (Jer 26:22; 36:12). (2.) Ezr 8:16.

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Elnathan:

el-na'-than ('elnathan, "God has given"):

(1) The grandfather of Jehoiachin (2Ki 24:8).

(2) A courtier of Jehoiakim; he was one of those sent to Egypt to bring back the prophet Uriah (Jer 26:22), and one of those who heard the reading of Jeremiah's roll and entreated Jehoiakim not to burn the roll (Jer 36:12,25)-possibly the same person as (1) above.

(3, 4, 5) The name of two "chief men"-unless textual corruption has introduced the name at its second occurrence-and of one "teacher" sent for by Ezra from the camp at the river Ahava (Ezr 8:16).
