Nethaniah

Meaning: the gift of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Nethaniah entry refers to the father of Jehudi in Jeremiah 36:14, not to the Levite teaching in Jehoshaphat's reign. He belongs to the family background of the court official involved in Jeremiah's scroll episode. First appears in Jer 36:14.1

AI summary: This Nethaniah matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of a court messenger drawn into the confrontation over Jeremiah's words. Even a brief paternal notice helps root that tense political-religious moment in remembered households. Taken together, the material presents this Nethaniah as a familial source in the background of Jeremiah's scroll narrative.1
