Jeremiah 26:20-24

Jeremiah 26:20-24

[20] And there was also a man  that prophesied  in the name  of the LORD,  Urijah  the son  of Shemaiah  of Kirjathjearim,  who prophesied  against this city  and against this land  according to all the words  of Jeremiah:  [21] And when Jehoiakim  the king,  with all his mighty men,  and all the princes,  heard  his words,  the king  sought  to put him to death:  but when Urijah  heard  it, he was afraid,  and fled,  and went  into Egypt;  [22] And Jehoiakim  the king  sent  into Egypt,  namely, Elnathan  the son  of Achbor,  with him into Egypt.  [23] And they fetched forth  Urijah  out of Egypt,  and brought  him unto Jehoiakim  the king;  who slew  him with the sword,  and cast  his dead body  into the graves  of the common  people.  [24] Nevertheless the hand  of Ahikam  the son  of Shaphan  was with Jeremiah,  that they should not give  him into the hand  of the people  to put him to death.
