Indeed, there was also a man who used to prophesy in the name of the LORD, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from ^(C1)Kiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land words similar to all those of Jeremiah.

When King Jehoiakim and all his warriors and all the officials heard his words, then the ^(C1)king sought to put him to death; but Uriah heard about it, and he was afraid, so he ^(C2)fled and went to Egypt.

Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: ^(C1)Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him, to Egypt.

And they brought Uriah from Egypt and led him to King Jehoiakim, who ^(C1)killed him with a sword and threw his dead body into the ^(F1)burial place of the ^(F2)common people.
