21 When King Jehoiakim and all his warriors and officials heard his words, the king sought to kill him. Uriah heard of this and fled in fear to Egypt.
22 But King Jehoiakim dispatched Elnathan, Achbor’s son, and others to Egypt.
23 They brought Uriah back from Egypt to the king who had him killed, and his body was thrown into the common burial ground.
24 But Ahikam, Shaphan’s son, protected Jeremiah and wouldn’t let the people execute him.
