20 There was another man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words exactly like those of Jeremiah.(A) 21 And when King Jehoiakim, with all his warriors and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death, but when Uriah heard of it, he was afraid and fled and escaped to Egypt.(B) 22 Then King Jehoiakim sent[a] Elnathan son of Achbor and men with him to Egypt,(C) 23 and they took Uriah from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, who struck him down with the sword and threw his dead body into the burial place of the common people.

20 (Now Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim(A) was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord; he prophesied the same things against this city and this land as Jeremiah did. 21 When King Jehoiakim(B) and all his officers and officials(C) heard his words, the king was determined to put him to death.(D) But Uriah heard of it and fled(E) in fear to Egypt. 22 King Jehoiakim, however, sent Elnathan(F) son of Akbor to Egypt, along with some other men. 23 They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him struck down with a sword(G) and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.)(H)
