Jeremias 26:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:21

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men
Either his courtiers, or his soldiers, or both: and all the princes, heard his words;
the words of the Prophet Urijah; not with their own ears very probably, but from the report of others: the king sought to put him to death;
as being a messenger of bad tidings, tending to dispirit his subjects, and allay the joy of his own mind upon his advancement to the throne: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into
Egypt;
which some understand as a piece of prudence in him; but rather it was the effect of pusillanimity and cowardice: it seems to show want of faith and confidence in the Lord; and the fear of man, which brings a snare; and besides, it was no piece of prudence to go to Egypt, whatever it was to flee; since there was such an alliance between the kings of Egypt and Judah; and the latter, though dependent on the former, yet the king of Egypt would easily gratify him in delivering up a subject of his, and a person of such a character.

Jeremias 26:21 In-Context

19 Acaso Ezequias, rei de Judá, ou alguém do povo de Judá o matou? Ezequias não temeu o SENHOR e não buscou o seu favor? E o SENHOR não se arrependeu da desgraça que pronunciara contra eles? Estamos a ponto de trazer uma terrível desgraça sobre nós!”
20 Outro homem que profetizou em nome do SENHOR foi Urias, filho de Semaías, de Quiriate-Jearim. Ele profetizou contra esta cidade e contra esta terra as mesmas coisas anunciadas por Jeremias.
21 Quando o rei Jeoaquim, todos os seus homens de guerra e os seus oficiais ouviram isso, o rei procurou matá-lo. Sabendo disso, Urias teve medo e fugiu para o Egito.
22 Mas o rei Jeoaquim mandou ao Egito Elnatã, filho de Acbor, e com ele alguns homens,
23 os quais trouxeram Urias do Egito e o levaram ao rei Jeoaquim, que o mandou matar à espada. Depois, jogaram o corpo dele numa vala comum.
