Nehushta

Nehushta is named in 2 Kings as Jehoiachin’s mother and Elnathan of Jerusalem’s daughter (2 Kings 24:8). The passage identifies her while reporting the beginning of Jehoiachin’s reign in Jerusalem. Nehushta’s biblical footprint is limited in this record: her name occurs in at least one verse, all within 2 Kings (2 Kings 24:8). This is the only supplied occurrence for this identity.
