Where Nehelamites appears in Scripture

Jeremiah 29

וְאֶל-שְׁמַעְיָהוּ הַנֶּחֱלָמִי תֹּאמַר לֵאמֹֽר׃
24
Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
שְׁלַח עַל-כָּל-הַגּוֹלָה לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמַעְיָה הַנֶּחֱלָמִי יַעַן אֲשֶׁר נִבָּא לָכֶם שְׁמַעְיָה וַֽאֲנִי לֹא שְׁלַחְתִּיו וַיַּבְטַח אֶתְכֶם עַל-שָֽׁקֶר׃
31
Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
לָכֵן כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי פֹקֵד עַל-שְׁמַעְיָה הַנֶּחֱלָמִי וְעַל-זַרְעוֹ לֹא-יִהְיֶה לוֹ אִישׁ׀ יוֹשֵׁב׀ בְּתוֹךְ-הָעָם הַזֶּה וְלֹֽא-יִרְאֶה בַטּוֹב אֲשֶׁר-אֲנִי עֹשֶֽׂה-לְעַמִּי נְאֻם-יְהוָה כִּֽי-סָרָה דִבֶּר עַל-יְהוָֽה׃
32
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
