Jeremiah 26:17-24

17Then 1some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, 18“23Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Thus the Lord of hosts has said, “4Zion will be plowed as a field, And Jerusalem will become ruins, And the 5mountain of the house as the 6high places of a forest.”’ 19Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not 7fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, and 8the Lord 9changed His mind about the misfortune which He had pronounced against them? But we are 10committing a great evil against ourselves.”

20Indeed, there was also a man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from 11Kiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land words similar to all those of Jeremiah. 21When King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and all the officials heard his words, then the 12king sought to put him to death; but Uriah heard it, and he was afraid and 13fled and went to Egypt. 22Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: 14Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him went into Egypt. 23And they brought Uriah from Egypt and led him to King Jehoiakim, who 15slew him with a sword and cast his dead body into the 16burial place of the 17common people.

24But the hand of 18Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that he was 19not given into the hands of the people to put him to death.
