Jeremiah 26:20-23

20 There was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from ^cKiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like those of Jeremiah. 21 And when ^dKing 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 ^eKing Jehoiakim sent to Egypt certain men, ^fElnathan the son of ^gAchbor and others with him, 23 and they took Uriah from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, ^hwho struck him down with the sword and dumped his dead body into the burial place of the common people.
