Tahpanhes

An ancient Egyptian frontier city in the eastern Nile Delta, also called Tehaphnehes in Ezekiel and Tahpanes in Jeremiah. After the assassination of Gedaliah, the Jewish remnant under Johanan's leadership fled to Egypt and settled at Tahpanhes — carrying a kicking-and-screaming Jeremiah along with them (Jeremiah 43:7). There Jeremiah buried large stones at the entrance of Pharaoh's palace and prophesied that Nebuchadnezzar would set his throne on those very stones (Jeremiah 43:8-13). The prophet then delivered some of his harshest oracles against the Jewish refugees there (Jeremiah 44).
