The Hebrew word for "man" here is "אִישׁ" (ish), which can denote a person of significance or standing. This introduction sets the stage for understanding that God often raises multiple voices to confirm His message, underscoring the seriousness of the prophetic warnings given to Judah.who prophesied in the name of the LORD The act of prophesying "in the name of the LORD" signifies speaking with divine authority. The Hebrew term for "prophesied" is "נִבָּא" (naba), which means to speak or sing by inspiration. This phrase highlights the legitimacy and divine backing of Uriah's message, aligning him with the true prophets who spoke God's words, as opposed to false prophets who spoke from their own imaginations.Uriah son of Shemaiah Uriah, whose name means "Yahweh is my light," is identified here, along with his lineage, which was a common practice to establish identity and credibility. The mention of his father, Shemaiah, whose name means "heard by Yahweh," may suggest a family known for their faithfulness to God. This personal detail adds depth to Uriah's character, presenting him as a legitimate and recognized prophet.from Kiriath-jearim Kiriath-jearim was a city in the territory of Judah, known historically as a place where the Ark of the Covenant was kept for a time (<a href="/1_samuel/7.htm">1 Samuel 7:1-2</a>). This geographical reference situates Uriah within the cultural and religious landscape of Judah, suggesting that he was familiar with the spiritual heritage and the gravity of his prophetic mission.He prophesied against this city and this land The phrase "against this city and this land" indicates the content and direction of Uriah's prophecy. The Hebrew word for "against" is "עַל" (al), which can mean "concerning" or "regarding," but in this context, it implies a message of warning or judgment. This mirrors the prophetic tradition of calling out the sins of the people and warning of impending judgment if they do not repent.just as Jeremiah did This comparison to Jeremiah underscores the consistency and unity of the prophetic message. The Hebrew word "כְּ" (ke) means "like" or "as," indicating that Uriah's message was in harmony with Jeremiah's, reinforcing the truth of the warnings given to Judah. This parallel serves to validate both prophets' messages, showing that God was speaking clearly and consistently through His chosen messengers.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/26.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(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 <a href="/jeremiah/26-17.htm" title="Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,">Jeremiah 26:17</a>. 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. <a href="/jeremiah/26-24.htm" title="Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.">Jeremiah 26:24</a> 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 (<a href="/1_samuel/7-1.htm" title="And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.">1Samuel 7:1</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/6-2.htm" title="And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwells between the cherubim.">2Samuel 6:2</a>), 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.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/26.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>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.
