*
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD ,
Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim Qiryath Y @#
ariym #,
who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah :
*
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 ;
*
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt ,
namely ,
Elnathan the son of Achbor ,
and certain men with him into Egypt .
*
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 .
*
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 .
