Jehucal

Jehucal or Jucal (Hebrew יְהוּכַל Yəhūḵal) is mentioned in chapters 37 and 38 of the Book of Jeremiah:

"And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying: 'Pray now unto the LORD our God for us'" (Jeremiah 37:3, Jewish Publication Society translation of 1917).

Excavations conducted by the Ir David Foundation in the City of David uncovered a bulla (clay seal) bearing his name in 2005.[1] It read yhwkl bn šlmyhw bn šby: Yehukal son of Shelemyahu son of Shebi.[2]
