Jeremiah 26:20-23

Christian Standard Bible

The Prophet Uriah

²⁰ Another man was also prophesying in the name of the Lord—Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim.^(A) He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like all those of Jeremiah. ²¹ King Jehoiakim, all his warriors, and all the officials heard his words, and the king tried to put him to death. When Uriah heard, he fled in fear and went to Egypt. ²² But King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor^(B) and certain other men with him went to Egypt. ²³ They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who executed him with the sword and threw his corpse into the burial place of the common people.^[a]
