==== Nebo-Sarsekim tablet ====
In July 2007, Assyrologist Michael Jursa translated a [[cuneiform]] tablet dated to 595&nbsp;BC, as describing a Nabusharrussu-ukin as "the chief [[eunuch]]" of [[Nebuchadnezzar II]] of [[Babylon]]. Jursa hypothesized that this reference might be to the same individual as the [[Nebo-Sarsekim Tablet|Nebo-Sarsekim]] mentioned in {{bibleverse|Jeremiah|39:3}}.{{sfn|Reynolds|2007}}{{sfn|Hobbins|2007}}

==== Seals ====
A 7th-century BC [[Jehucal|seal of Jehucal, son of Shelemiah]] and another of [[Gedaliah, son of Pashhur]] (mentioned together in [[Jeremiah 38:1]]; Jehucal also mentioned in [[Jeremiah 37:3]]) were found during excavation by [[Eilat Mazar]] in the [[City of David (Silwan)|city of David]], [[Jerusalem]], in 2005 and 2008, respectively.{{sfn|Kantrowitz|2012}}

==== Tel Arad ostraca ====
Pottery shards at [[Tel Arad]] were unearthed in the 1970s that mention [[Pashhur]], and this reference may be to the same individual mentioned in [[Jeremiah 20:1]].<ref name="mfa.gov.il" />
