Jeremiah 43:7

So they came into the land of Egypt ,.... They set out from the habitation of Chimham, where they were, Jeremiah 41:17 ; and proceeded on their journey, till they entered the land of Egypt:

for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord ; to continue in Judea, and not to go into Egypt; and though the prophet of the Lord, who was with them, might, as they went along, advise them to go back, they regarded him not, but still went on:

thus came they even to Tahpanhes ; the same with Hanes, Isaiah 30:4 ; and might be so called, as here, from a queen of Egypt of this name, 1 Kings 11:19 . The Septuagint version, and others after that, call it Taphnas. It is thought to be the Daphnae Pelusiae of Herodotus F6 Enterpe, sive l. 2. c. 30, 107. It was a seat of the king of Egypt, as appeals from Jeremiah 43:9 ; and no less a place would these proud men stop at, or take up with, but where the king's palace was. Tyrius F7 Apud Adrichem. Theatrum Terrae Sanctae, p. 125. calls it Tapium, and says it was in his time a very small town.
