The following passage (Jeremiah 26:20–23) has clearly been inserted in the account of Jeremiah’s trial by the narrator. The most likely person to have done this is Baruch. This brief story has been included because of the clear parallels with Jeremiah’s trial. Uriah is not mentioned anywhere else in Scripture but, at some point in Jeremiah’s ministry, Uriah prophesied against this city and against the land in words like those of Jeremiah.
Uriah, along with Micah, Jeremiah and many others is in the line of prophets whom the Lord had sent persistently (Jeremiah 26:5).1
20 There was another man who prophesied in the name of the LORD, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like those of Jeremiah.
