Jeremiah26:20
20 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city, and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremiah .
This is a piece of story which we have recorded in no other part of Scripture. Some judge these words were the words of the same that spake before, but that is not likely, for then they had brought one instance for acquitting him, another, for the condemning of him. They are therefore rather to be interpreted as the words of some others, either of the Court who were Enemies to Jeremiah, or of his Accusers, or their Council, urging a later president, in the time of Jehojakim the King that at this time reigned, who also pretended to speak in the name of the Lord, and whose prophesie was the same in substance with this of Jeremiah.
