and he prophesied against this city and against this land
according to all the words of Jeremiah:
026:021 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 Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled,
and went into Egypt:
026:022 and Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan
the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;
026:023 and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him
to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword,
and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
026:024 But 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.
027:001 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah,
king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

on your neck;
027:003 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab,

and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have
