10 He said, “I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. ^vFor the people of Israel have ^wforsaken your covenant, ^xthrown down your altars, and ^ykilled your prophets with the sword, and ^zI, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.”

26 “Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against you and ^ucast your law behind their back and ^vkilled your prophets, who had warned them in order to turn them back to you, and they committed great blasphemies.

20 There was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like those of Jeremiah. 21 And when King Jehoiakim, with all his warriors and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah heard of it, he was afraid and fled and escaped to Egypt. 22 Then King Jehoiakim sent to Egypt certain men, ^bElnathan the son of Achbor and others with him, 23 and they took Uriah from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, who struck him down with the sword and dumped his dead body into the burial place of the common people.
