Tahpanhes

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

An ancient city of Egypt on the Tanitic mouth of the Nile

Identical with the Daphne of the Greeks. A favorite resort of exiled Jews (Jer. 43:7-9; 44:1; 46:14⁷So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: thus came they even to Tahpanhes. ⁸Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, ⁹Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah; (Jeremiah 43:7‑9)
¹The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, (Jeremiah 44:1)
¹⁴Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee. (Jeremiah 46:14)). Jeremiah was taken thither, after the murder of Gedaliah, and the Pharaoh erected a brick palace there. The children of Noph and Tahpanhes are made to type the entire population of Egypt (Jer. 2:16¹⁶Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head. (Jeremiah 2:16)).
