Împăratul Ioiachim, toţi vitejii lui, şi toate căpeteniile lui, au auzit cuvintele lui, şi împăratul a căutat să -l omoare. Dar Urie, care a fost înştiinţat de lucrul acesta, s'a temut, a fugit, şi s'a dus în Egipt.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men,.... Either his courtiers, or his soldiers, or both:

and all the princes, heard his words; the words of the Prophet Urijah; not with their own ears very probably, but from the report of others:

the king sought to put him to death; as being a messenger of bad tidings, tending to dispirit his subjects, and allay the joy of his own mind upon his advancement to the throne:

but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt; which some understand as a piece of prudence in him; but rather it was the effect of pusillanimity and cowardice: it seems to show want of faith and confidence in the Lord; and the fear of man, which brings a snare; and besides, it was no piece of prudence to go to Egypt, whatever it was to flee; since there was such an alliance between the kings of Egypt and Judah; and the latter, though dependent on the former, yet the king of Egypt would easily gratify him in delivering up a subject of his, and a person of such a character.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

His mighty men - The commanders of his army; the princes are the civil officers.
