26:20Now there was another man41 who prophesied as the Lord’s representative42 against this city and this land just as Jeremiah did. His name was Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim.43
Footnotes
- 41 This is a brief parenthetical narrative about an otherwise unknown prophet who was executed for saying the same things Jeremiah did. It is put here to show the real danger that Jeremiah faced for saying what he did. There is nothing in the narrative here to show any involvement by Jehoiakim. This was a “lynch mob” instigated by the priests and false prophets which was stymied by the royal officials supported by some of the elders of Judah. Since it is disjunctive or parenthetical it is unclear whether this incident happened before or after that in the main narrative being reported.
- 42 Heb “in the name of the Lord,” i.e., as his representative and claiming his authority. See the study note on v. .
- 43 Heb “Now also a man was prophesying in the name of the Lord, Uriah son of …, and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.” The long Hebrew sentence has been broken up in conformity with contemporary English style and the major emphasis brought out by putting his prophesying first, then identifying him.
