Jeremiah26:21

21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Urijah heard it he was afraid and fled, and went into Egypt .

When Jehoiachim our present King, and all his great men heard of it, probably by the information of others, they judged it a capital crime, and used means to apprehend him, in order to the putting him to death, upon which the Prophet being advertised of it, and fearing the issue, fled into Egypt.
