Jeremiah Spared from Death
19Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!” 20Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land the same things that Jeremiah did. 21King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt.…

Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD
This phrase introduces Uriah, a prophet who, like Jeremiah, spoke in the name of the LORD. The act of prophesying in the name of the LORD indicates that Uriah claimed divine authority for his messages. This reflects the biblical principle that true prophets speak not from their own authority but as messengers of God (Deuteronomy 18:18-22). The presence of multiple prophets during this period highlights the seriousness of the message God was delivering to Judah.

Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim
Uriah is identified by his lineage and hometown, which was a common practice to establish identity and credibility. Kiriath-jearim was a town in the territory of Judah, known for its association with the Ark of the Covenant (1 Samuel 7:1-2). This geographical detail situates Uriah within the cultural and religious landscape of Judah, emphasizing that he was a local prophet with a vested interest in the fate of his people.

He prophesied against this city and against this land
Uriah's message was directed against Jerusalem and the land of Judah, similar to Jeremiah's prophecies. This indicates that Uriah's message was one of warning and impending judgment, consistent with the themes of the prophetic literature of the time. The focus on "this city" and "this land" underscores the specific and localized nature of the prophetic warnings, which were often tied to the covenantal relationship between God and Israel (Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28).

the same things that Jeremiah did
This phrase highlights the consistency of the prophetic message delivered by both Uriah and Jeremiah. It suggests that Uriah's prophecies were in alignment with the warnings of destruction and calls for repentance that Jeremiah was known for. This consistency serves to reinforce the validity of the prophetic message, as it was not isolated to a single voice but confirmed by multiple prophets. Theologically, this reflects the principle that God often confirms His word through multiple witnesses (2 Corinthians 13:1).

Courage in Proclaiming Truth
Uriah's account reminds us of the courage required to speak God's truth, even when it is unpopular or dangerous. Like Uriah and Jeremiah, believers today are called to stand firm in their convictions.

The Cost of Disobedience
The prophecies against Jerusalem highlight the consequences of turning away from God. This serves as a warning to remain faithful and obedient to God's commands.

God's Consistent Message
The similarity between Uriah's and Jeremiah's messages underscores the consistency of God's word. It encourages us to seek alignment with God's truth as revealed in Scripture.

The Role of Prophets
Prophets like Uriah and Jeremiah were tasked with delivering difficult messages. This challenges us to consider how we respond to God's messengers and the messages they bring.

What Does Jeremiah 26:20 Mean
Now there was another man

- Scripture here pauses the narrative to introduce a second witness alongside Jeremiah. God often confirms His message through multiple voices (Deuteronomy 19:15; 2 Corinthians 13:1).

- The existence of another prophet underscores that Jeremiah was not a lone extremist; the Lord consistently raised others to echo His Word when Judah drifted from covenant faithfulness.


prophesying in the name of the LORD

- Uriah’s ministry is authenticated by the divine name; he claims the same authority as Jeremiah (Jeremiah 26:2, 12).

- True prophecy rests on God’s revealed word, not personal opinion (Numbers 12:6; 2 Peter 1:21).

- The phrase signals accountability: speaking “in the name of the LORD” carries both responsibility and protection—yet rejection of that word invites judgment (1 Samuel 17:45; John 12:48).


Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim

- The verse supplies lineage and hometown, showing Uriah is a real historical figure, not an anonymous voice (cf. Isaiah 1:1; Amos 1:1).

- Kiriath-jearim, in Judah’s territory (Joshua 18:14), had earlier housed the ark (1 Samuel 7:1-2). A man from this spiritually significant locale preaching repentance highlights Judah’s responsibility to heed God.

- Mentioning his father, Shemaiah, follows the biblical pattern of rooting ministry in concrete family lines, affirming both authenticity and accountability (Jeremiah 1:1; Luke 3:23-38).


He prophesied against this city and against this land

- Like Jeremiah, Uriah’s message targeted both Jerusalem (“this city”) and the broader nation (“this land”), calling out systemic sin (Jeremiah 7:1-7; Micah 3:8-12).

- “Against” signals warning: impending judgment unless repentance occurs (Jonah 3:4; Ezekiel 33:11).

- God’s love is displayed in warning before disciplining (2 Chronicles 36:15-16; Hebrews 12:6).


the same things that Jeremiah did

- Agreement validates the prophecy: two independent voices deliver identical warnings, confirming God’s unchanging standard (Malachi 3:6; Acts 3:22-23).

- The verse implicitly rebukes those who dismissed Jeremiah: rejecting Uriah too removes the excuse of singling out one prophet (Luke 10:16).

- Sadly, verses 21-23 reveal Uriah was executed, illustrating the cost of faithfulness and foreshadowing opposition faced by later servants, including Christ Himself (Matthew 21:33-39; Hebrews 11:36-38).


summary

Jeremiah 26:20 introduces Uriah as a corroborating witness who, empowered by God’s authority, delivered the same hard truth Jeremiah proclaimed. His rooted identity, identical message, and subsequent martyrdom stress that Judah’s problem was not misunderstanding but defiance of clear, repeated warnings. The verse assures us that God faithfully raises multiple voices to affirm His Word, and it challenges readers today to heed Scripture promptly, lest repeated mercy be met with persistent unbelief.

(20) And there was also a man that prophesied . . .--The verses that follow, seeing that they state a fact which tends in the opposite direction, cannot be regarded as part of the argument of the "elders" of Jeremiah 26:17. Nor is there any sufficient reason for supposing, in the absence of any statement to that effect, that the case of Urijah was alleged in a counter-argument by the priests and prophets. Jeremiah 26:24 shows rather that Jeremiah, or the compiler of the book, wished to record the fact that he did not stand absolutely alone, and that at least one prophet had been, as an Abdiel,--"faithful found among the faithless,"--who had courage to follow his example. He took up the strain of Jeremiah, and reproduced it. Of this Urijah we know nothing beyond what is here recorded. It is, perhaps, worth noting that the history of his native place may in some measure have influenced his thoughts, as presenting, like Shiloh, the history of a sacred place that had lost its sanctity (1Samuel 7:1; 2Samuel 6:2), and that its position on the border of the tribe of Benjamin may have brought him into contact with the prophet of Anathoth. The distance between the two towns was but a short day's journey.

Verses 20-23. - The murder of the prophet Urijah. At first sight, these four verses appear to belong to the speech of the elders, but the appearance is delusive,

(1) because the issue of the affair of Urijah cannot possibly have taken place "in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim" (ver. 1); and

(2) because the passage stands in no connection with what precedes, whereas it is related, and that very closely, to ver. 24 (see below). The case is similar to that of certain passages in St. John's Gospel, where the reflections of the evangelist are put side by side with the sayings of our Lord. Jeremiah, writing down his experiences at a later time, introduces the story of Urijah to show the magnitude of the danger to which he had been exposed. The notice of Urijah has an additional importance, as it shows incidentally how isolated a spiritual prophet like Jeremiah was, and how completely the order of prophets had fallen below its high ideal. We have no further knowledge of the prophet Urijah. Verse 20. - Kirjath-jearim; a city in the territory of Judah, on the west frontier of Benjamin.
