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.
