Jeremia 26,23

21 Da kong Jojakim og alle hans offiserer og embetsmenn hørte hans ord, søkte kongen å drepe ham. Men Uria hørte om det og flyktet i frykt til Egypt.

22 Kong Jojakim sendte imidlertid menn til Egypt: Elnatan, sønn av Akbor, og andre med ham.

De hentet Uria ut av Egypt og tok ham til kong Jojakim, som slo ham ned med sverd, og hans kropp ble kastet i gravplassen for vanlige folk.

24 Likevel støttet Akikam, sønn av Sjafan, Jeremias, så han ikke ble overgitt til folket for å bli drept.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
