Jehucal

Jehucal or Jucal [heb. יְהוּכַל] is mentioned in chapters 37 and 38 of the Book of Jeremiah:

King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to the prophet Jeremiah, saying `Please pray for us to the Lord our God` [1]

Excavations conducted by the Ir David Foundation in the City of David have uncovered a bulla (clay seal) bearing his name.[2]
