Tanhumeth
A son of Netophathite and a leader among the remnant in Judah after the fall of Jerusalem.
Tanhumeth is identified as the son of a Netophathite and one of the military leaders who joined Gedaliah at Mizpah following the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem. His mention in 2 Kings 25:23 and Jeremiah 40:8 serves to document the specific remnant of Judean leadership that sought to rebuild under Gedaliah's governorship. He represents the remnant of the people who remained in the land during the initial period of the Babylonian exile.
