Tahpanhes – Biblical City Where Prophet Jeremiah And King Zedekiah’s Daughters Hid From The Babylonians
Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – Tahpanhes was once an important city to the people of the Kingdom of Judah and ancient Egyptians.
From the thirty-ninth chapter of Jeremiah and Josephus we learn that after Nebuchadnezzar II, the greatest ruler of ancient Babylonia and conqueror of Judah had seized Jerusalem and captured the Judean King Zedekiah. Then, Nebuchadnezzar II burned the city of Jerusalem and took most of its inhabitants to Babylon.
Prophet Jeremiah And King Zedekiah’s Daughters Fled To Tahpanhes
Pharaoh Apries, who had the misfortune of becoming King shortly after the Babylonian Exile, attempted to help the kingdom of Judah, and in 588 B.C. Apries, referred to as Hophra in Jeremiah 44:30, “dispatched a military unit to Jerusalem to protect it from Babylonian forces sent by Nebuchadnezzar II. However, the Egyptian army soon realized they were no match for the Babylonians, and they had to withdraw to avoid a deadly confrontation.” 1
