This Shephathiah entry refers to the official opposing Jeremiah in Jeremiah 38:1, not to Jehoshaphat's son, the Benjamite supporter, or the Simeonite prince. He belongs to the court setting resisting prophetic truth late in Judah's collapse. First appears in Jer 38:1.1
AI summary: This Shephathiah matters because his single cross reference places him among the princes who press for Jeremiah's death. The entry helps show how entrenched political hostility to the prophetic word became in Jerusalem's final days. Taken together, the material presents this Shephathiah as an official in opposition to Jeremiah.1
