20And there was also a man prophesying in the name of Yahweh, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim, and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

21When King Jehoiakim, and all his mighty men, and all the officials heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah heard, he was afraid and fled and went to Egypt.

22Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him, to Egypt.

23They brought Uriah out of Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, and he struck him down with the sword and threw his corpse into the burial places of the common people.
