Urijah the Priest Urijah, also spelled Uriah, was a prominent priest during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. He is primarily mentioned in the context of King Ahaz's religious reforms, which were influenced by the practices of the Assyrians. Urijah's role is detailed in <a href="/2_kings/16-10.htm">2 Kings 16:10-16</a>. When King Ahaz visited Damascus to meet with Tiglath-Pileser III, the king of Assyria, he saw an altar that impressed him. Ahaz sent a model and detailed plans of this altar to Urijah the priest, instructing him to construct a similar altar in Jerusalem. Urijah complied with the king's request, building the altar before Ahaz returned from Damascus. Upon his return, Ahaz offered sacrifices on this new altar, which was contrary to the traditional worship practices established by God for the Israelites. Urijah's actions demonstrate the challenges faced by religious leaders in maintaining fidelity to God's commands amidst political and cultural pressures. His compliance with Ahaz's orders reflects the complex relationship between religious authority and royal power in ancient Judah. 2. Urijah the Prophet Another notable figure named Urijah is Urijah the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim, a prophet during the reign of King Jehoiakim. His account is recorded in <a href="/jeremiah/26-20.htm">Jeremiah 26:20-23</a>. Urijah prophesied against Jerusalem and Judah, delivering a message similar to that of the prophet Jeremiah, warning of impending disaster due to the people's disobedience to God. King Jehoiakim and his officials sought to kill Urijah for his prophecies. Fearing for his life, Urijah fled to Egypt. However, King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan son of Achbor and some men to Egypt to capture him. They brought Urijah back to Jerusalem, where the king had him executed and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people. Urijah's fate underscores the peril faced by prophets who spoke God's truth in times of widespread apostasy and highlights the resistance of the people and their leaders to divine warnings. 3. Urijah the Father of Meremoth Urijah is also mentioned as the father of Meremoth, a priest who played a significant role in the rebuilding of the temple during the time of Nehemiah. This Urijah is referenced in <a href="/ezra/8-33.htm">Ezra 8:33</a> and <a href="/nehemiah/3-4.htm">Nehemiah 3:4, 21</a>. Meremoth, the son of Urijah, was entrusted with the responsibility of weighing and recording the gold, silver, and other temple articles brought back from Babylon. He also participated in the repair of the walls of Jerusalem, demonstrating the continuity of priestly service and dedication to the restoration of worship in post-exilic Judah. 4. Urijah the Son of Koz In <a href="/nehemiah/3-4.htm">Nehemiah 3:4, 21</a>, Urijah is mentioned as the father of Meremoth, who was involved in the repair of the wall of Jerusalem. This Urijah is likely the same as the one mentioned in <a href="/ezra/8-33.htm">Ezra 8:33</a>, indicating his family's ongoing commitment to the religious and communal life of the Jewish people during the period of restoration. Biblical References: · <a href="/2_kings/16-10.htm">2 Kings 16:10-16</a> : "Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria. He saw an altar in Damascus and sent to Urijah the priest a model of the altar and complete plans for its construction. And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all the instructions that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. By the time King Ahaz returned from Damascus, Urijah the priest had completed the altar." · <a href="/jeremiah/26-20.htm">Jeremiah 26:20-23</a> : "Now there was another man who prophesied in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and this land in words like all those of Jeremiah. King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But Uriah heard of it and fled in fear to Egypt. Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor and certain other men with him. They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him struck down with a sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people." · <a href="/ezra/8-33.htm">Ezra 8:33</a> : "On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and the sacred articles into the hands of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, along with Eleazar son of Phinehas. They were accompanied by the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui." · <a href="/nehemiah/3-4.htm">Nehemiah 3:4, 21</a> : "Next to them, Meremoth son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, made repairs. Next to him, Meshullam son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel, made repairs. Next to him, Zadok son of Baana made repairs... Next to him, Meremoth son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, repaired another section, from the doorway of the house of Eliashib to the end of the house of Eliashib."<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Urijah(light of Jehovah). <ol> <li>Urijah the priest in the reign of Ahaz, (<a href="/2_kings/16-10.htm">2 Kings 16:10</a>) probably the same as <a href="../u/uriah.htm">URIAH</a>,</li> <li>A priest of the family of Koz or Hakkoz, the same as <a href="../u/uriah.htm">URIAH</a>,</li> <li>One of the priests who stood at Ezra's right hand when he read the law to the people.
