3 And King Zed·e·kiʹah sent Je·huʹcal+ the son of Shel·e·miʹah and Zeph·a·niʹah+ the son of Ma·a·seiʹah the priest to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “Please pray in our behalf to Jehovah our God.”

24 The chief of the guard also took Se·raiʹah+ the chief priest, Zeph·a·niʹah+ the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.+
