Where Tanhumeth appears in Scripture

2 Kings 25

וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל-שָׂרֵי הַֽחֲיָלִים הֵמָּה וְהָֽאֲנָשִׁים כִּֽי-הִפְקִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ הַמִּצְפָּה וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה וְיֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וּשְׂרָיָה בֶן-תַּנְחֻמֶת הַנְּטֹֽפָתִי וְיַֽאֲזַנְיָהוּ בֶּן-הַמַּעֲכָתִי הֵמָּה וְאַנְשֵׁיהֶֽם׃
23
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

Jeremiah 40

וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָה הַמִּצְפָּתָה וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָהוּ וְיוֹחָנָן וְיוֹנָתָן בְּנֵֽי-קָרֵחַ וּשְׂרָיָה בֶן-תַּנְחֻמֶת וּבְנֵי׀ ‫(עופי)‬ עֵיפַי הַנְּטֹפָתִי וִֽיזַנְיָהוּ בֶּן-הַמַּעֲכָתִי הֵמָּה וְאַנְשֵׁיהֶֽם׃
8
Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
