Jeremiah 26:20-24 — Legacy Standard Bible

²⁰Indeed, there was also a man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from ^aKiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land words similar to all those of Jeremiah. ²¹And King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and all the officials heard his words. So the ^aking sought to put him to death; but Uriah heard it, and he was afraid and ^bfled and went to Egypt. ²²Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: ^aElnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him went into Egypt. ²³And they brought Uriah out from Egypt and led him to King Jehoiakim, who ^astruck him down with a sword and cast his dead body into the ¹burial place of the ²common people.

²⁴But the hand of ^aAhikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that he was ^bnot given into the hands of the people to put him to death.
