Commentary on Jeremiah 26:222 voices
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, 2Ki 22:12; who is called Abdon in 2Ch 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.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed

Urijah was faithful in delivering his message, but faulty in leaving his work, so God permitted him to lose his life, while Jeremiah was protected in danger. The path of duty is often the path of safety.

The scribes chamber - The chancery in which the kings business was conducted. Probably Elishama was one of the principal scribes of the host Jer 52:25, i. e., the secretary of state for war. The business which had brought together all the princes would have reference to the Chaldaean war.
