Old Testament
Jehucal
A royal official sent by King Zedekiah to request prayer and guidance from the prophet Jeremiah.
Jehucal, also known as Jucal, served as a messenger for King Zedekiah during the final siege of Jerusalem. He was sent to Jeremiah to ask for the prophet's intercession with God against the impending Babylonian threat. His presence highlights the king's desperate reliance on the prophet's influence despite the nation's ongoing rebellion against the Lord.
