26:20 Now there was another man 1 who prophesied as the Lord’s representative 2 against this city and this land just as Jeremiah did. His name was Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim. 3 26:21 When the king and all his bodyguards 4 and officials heard what he was prophesying, 5 the king sought to have him executed. But Uriah found out about it and fled to Egypt out of fear. 6 26:22 However, King Jehoiakim sent some men to Egypt, including Elnathan son of Achbor, 7 26:23 and they brought Uriah back from there. 8 They took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him executed and had his body thrown into the burial place of the common people. 9
26:24 However, Ahikam son of Shaphan 10 used his influence to keep Jeremiah from being handed over and executed by the people. 11
